Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Jennifer Benally

I use 100% satin fabric, medium 100% wool fabric, 100% cotton fabric (calico), double face satin ribbon, and Deer antlers for buttons on the vest and shirt set with gold sequin to accent the floral outline and along the light blue bias tape on the vest, white and gold rick rack, and white cut glass bead edging on the vest and shirt set. And a turtle shell bolo tie. I use a regular sewing machine and a serger to sew the clothing together. I cut out all the applique pieces individually and them on to create the floral and geometric designs.
