My wish is to offer you a gathering place for the wearable art and artwear communities. We can talk, we can show our work, and I hope we can support each other as we share. Please send me photos of your garments so we can all see what you've done. I'm doing the same as I get them made. Share news too please! Seen any great wearables lately?
In 1997 I had begun a mailed newsletter, Art You Wear. This blog is a way for me to rebuild what came before. I am sewing more than ever, looking forward to less fear of failure and fear of what others think, and finding new creative heights. I'll still talk about the best patterns and books for wearable art. To write to me via email, Google on Rosalie Cooke. Find my review of Bonnie McCaffrey's book and there for all the world to see is my email address. A bit disconcerting but what can you do--it's been there for ages. You can also reach me on Facebook.
What do I know about wearable art? Never enough, but I copyedited quilting and sewing books for Robbie Fanning and Chilton Books, worked with Kenneth D. King and Linda Lee on the books for the Vogue/Butterick tv series, and even judged the Bernina Fashion show two times. I also edited an unpublished book for wearable art written by 5 wonderful Fairfield designers. We're still trying to get it to a printer!
