Most of the time, I participate in the
Creative Souls monthly ATC swaps. The theme for January/February was "Dress Form".
I love to repurpose unloved or unwanted items in my art whenever possible. This time was no exception. I have been saving those mesh onion bags for quite sometime knowing that I would eventually use them as a textural element in my art. I used a portion of one of my purple bags to make the skirt of the dress, then embellished it with sequins and glitter glue. How cool is that? Hmmm....Now I think I'm really going to have to use some of those mesh bags in an art quilt....Time will tell...

i love it when i find a use for something that would otherwise be thrown away, just like you did for this project. who would have thought they would make such nice skirts!
Onion mesh bags! what a great idea! beautiful work of art!
Very nifty! You certainly made a new, beautiful craft out of the mesh onion bags. The originality of the skirt is exquisite. You nailed creativity, Wanda! Keep it up! =)
