i made myself a skirt and top (and a coat too) out of neckties a few years ago to wear to burningman. click on the picture to see more. i wore it for a couple of years out on the playa and even for a few hooping events. i’ve always dry cleaned it and been [...]

you asked for it!  some of you who are fans of my hoodie scarves had expressed concern over taking your favorite hoodie to burningman this year.  mostly out of fear of “playafying” it.  well, here’s a great solution!  this hoodie is made from super soft, reclaimed, playa colored fleece.  i made the scarf ends longer [...]

wow, i think i out did myself on this one. it boasts of all kinds of wonderful details: it has an overall burgundy theme with a brass buckle back on the out side where i used an actual tie end for an awesome look. i used a soft, burgundy twill as the outside back and [...]
