Recently there’s been two new additions to our family. Julia and a year later Nova who just turned 1 and Julia just turned 2. With the advent of covid it put me in to self imposed isolation and reflection. I worry what these newest members face in a world full of pollution. We all try and do our best to be eco friendly but the fast fashion industry is all about the sell and not the sustainability of our budgets and of planet. Fast Fashion generates 10% of air pollution with 10,000 garment being sent to the landfill every 5 minutes. @% of the garment workers earn a living wage. 80% of the garment workers are women. Washing synthetic fabric sends millions of plastic particles into the ocean.
This is not a Black and White issue of us ignoring our eco part in saving the planet. It’s undoing marketing and developing areas for sustainable fashion.

Colored powders were combined and mixed thoroughly in a lidded container with enough volume of color to use the base colored glass to a percentage of clear as shown above. Use a N95 respirator when using dry glass, especially powders. I tend to mix powders outside under cover as fine particles the eye cannot see remain in the air for 8 hours. Once the clear and colored mix is wet using a pate de verre glue. I have track lighting which is how I discovered the finest of particles in the air. Another reason to wet mop my area after doing art.
