Fine Fiber and Wearable Art by Artist Victoria O'Neill
I'm working on a new series of free size jackettes, integrating my images into wearable art. These are the first two. I took a photos of my paintings, printed them on fabric then reimagined them in various ways, machine quilted them and embellished with decorative stitching, sequins and glass beads.
I will be dropping these and more in April at Julie Miller Pottery.
This coat was a challenge, because the quilt is very heavy! So maneuvering it around my sewing machine was tough. I almost gave up making t his a few times, but kept at it and so glad I did because it turned out really well!
It's at Julie Miller Pottery on the wicker mannequin. Heavy duty coat, so warm and comfy, upcycled from a vintage Pottery Barn appliquéd and patchwork quilt. Nice big pockets and belt.

I just dropped off fiber and paper collage Valentine hearts and one of a kind cuff bracelets to Julie Miller Pottery on Main Street in Phoenixville PA. Her shop features her heirloom pottery plus other local artists including me.
This new arrangement is fabulous! I “just" keep making whatever I want and drive five minutes away and drop off!
I’m working right now on a new art doll idea. Details on that soon to follow. Also stay tuned for a Valentine Making Workshop there next month.
Also offering a new spectacular coat, along with other wearable arts.
