Foil Dress






This dress of mine is made out of foil and tape. It took around 4 days, 6 boxes of Reynolds Heavy Duty Foil, tape, and one room completely covered in foil. I entered it in the Scholastics Art Competition 2010 and so far it has won a regional Gold Key. So pretty exciting. : ) The award ceremony is next week and I’m trying to figure out what to wear, hmm. I’m for sure wearing my beloved neon, orange chucks which could flag down a plane, even at night time…or so I’m told. I guess I’ll try to sew something up this week, or maybe I’ll hit the jackpot at Goodwill. So until then I’ll try to figure it out.

  3. This is stunning!

    I just stumbled on your blog while looking through the burda style website. Your about me really pulled me in. You sound alot like me. I too have a strong love for God and I most definitely love sewing, knitting, and photography among all other crafty things (crochet, embroidary) I love the fact that you are so young. I feel like their are so few young sewers these days. (Im pretty young myself, 19 to be exact, soaking up my last year as a teenager)

    Okay but what really got me was that we have the same name. I don't know about you but the only people I meet named Esther are well into their seventies or eighties.
