Two skirts I made from many different scraps and pieces. The inspiration came from antique japanese fisherman´s jackets. Some of them were so often repaired and supplemented, that the original texture and colour can´t be seen anymore. They look like a conglomeration of scraps in every shade of Indigo, embellished with sashiko embroidery. That´s REAL recycling to me! And an art of it´s own.
