From Reconstructing Clothing for Dummies by my friend Miranda Burns:
"Then, during the neighborhood open studios, I came across a rack of clothing by a local art student. I left with a T-shirt, paying the young woman at least $30 more than what she was asking because it was so amazing! However, it had a large splotch of water-based paint on the back, laden with glitter. It was fun and lovely but I knew it wouldn't survive the washer. I wore the shirt as long as I could without washing it. When the day finally came to throw it in the washer, I did so reluctantly. When it came out, I was even more amazed. Beneath the paint, the young woman had scrawled a message onto the T-shirt: The remaining lyrics of the sentiment she had patched and stitched into the front of the shirt. It blew my mind and immediately mad me stop second-guessing the art that I was drawn to create."
