In honor of my favorite TV show, Project Runway [1], I'm choosing some of my favorite locally made wearable art for "art of the day". Carol Nesper has had a studio in Cleveland's Little Italy at the Murray Hill School [2] for many years. She is a fiber artist,certified elementary teacher and teaches tie-dye work shops. Unlike many designers she does not forget that kids need cool clothes too. Most of her creations feature her own unique style of tie-dye. The model is wearing a one-piece outfit in blue-gray 100% cotton with a subtly goth style black, gray and off-white textured tie-dye panel in the center.
In case you missed Project Runway on Wednesday or the recap last night, local girl Angela is still in -- but just barely. I'm not sure I'm cheering for her anymore. Who does n't sketch? What a bunch of *%$#! I felt sorry that Vincent had to have her as a partner. Malan got booted. Too bad. I liked him. He seemed very creative and nice. I would have worn his evening gown that looked like it had bark for a bodice, but probably not in the Miss Universe pageant.
