Find an object pick it up cover it with fabric and all the day, MAKE FABRIC ART!

I Wanted to introduce you all to a new artist that I found last semester forgot about her and then decided to bring her back.  Her name is Shoplifter and Amber and I in first hour this morning were talking about ideas for the new breadth piece that we will all be creating then the idea of a fabric piece popped up.  All of that reminded me of Shoplifter and Her Fabric Art.  Throughout this i;ll be going through a few of my favorites by her.  The massive installments she creates out of hair and fabric are beautiful and innovative.

I Love this piece its one of her newest and its behind glass but I think the way that the glass sections it off just adds another element of design to it.  I truly enjoy the way she incorporated lights in the fabrics and made it look alive, free flowing, moving, I think its a lot like life.  It's from her a.v.a.f series.

I love the intensity of the look on this girls face how she looks so soft but like she's ready to do battle at any moment. its strong.

heres another angle of the same design here she looks defeated. maybe perhaps she lost her battle that she was trying to win with beauty and softness.

This is a new one for me but the moment i saw it i was like "WOW"  Who knew doilies could be so innovative!

This is by far my Favorite installment of hers. It's called White wedding and the horse looks absolutely gorgeous. if only to see this on a real horse, I think it would be something fantastic.
The tail is one of the best parts in my opinion so vw-ah la!

I love the draping and the curl it looks like if the hors was walking it would bounce and twirl.

Alright one more that i thought was more humorous than artistic i guess her photography of it, is what make it artistic.
