Hot Ice Princess, recycled lammy's

Hot Ice Princess, recycled lammy's, originally uploaded by kinchimama.

This is the ever so talented Kinchimama of flickr! I posted her website where she sells lovely children's clothing & accessories a couple of post back. I've purchased a couple of items from her & adore each one. She is super duper talented! Here is what she had to say about this photo:

"A couple of years ago I was asked by a magazine to do something with 3 old lammycoats for a special on 5 designers that would recycle a fur coat.
I was about to say no, cause I don't like fur for humans but figured if I'd turn it into something non status-increasing and practicly unwearable it would be fun. And good exposure:)

I turned the coats inside out, reconstructed everything using two for the skirt, one for the top. The little roses I painted on by hand. I left everything raw edge, and let the half collar flap hang loose to create a medieval look:)"

UGG boots oh yeah.................

This is the amazing Jade M. Sheldon of flickr. How I would love to have her model my designs for sure! & the follwing is a direct quote from her:

"Through the wonderful world of Flickr, I have had the pleasure of meeting the talented and lovely Sarai Mitnick, designer and owner of Colette Patterns. She asked me if I would be interested in modeling some of the new patterns... How could I possibly say no? :)

The incredible photos were taken by the fabulous Lisa Warninger at Portland's Ace Hotel"
