Haute Couture

Haute Couture,,,,"high sewing".....a creation of exclusive custom fitted clothing.
A Haute Couture creation is made to order and made from high
quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail by the most
experienced seamstress using hand-executed techniques.
My little tag was cut out by hand,,,from high quality watercolor paper which was first painted
and stamped. Holes were punched for the lacing of gold thread. A little "collar" was added
at the neckline and a triple bow was tied for added flair.
The piece was then sprayed and edged with the finest of gold ink .
The creation will be seen next week on the runways of Paris.
Au revoir mes amis. A bientôt.
Thanks Louise.... at Tag Tuesday,,,,,for inspiring this little creation.

Such a beautiful talent! I tried to make the winter scene painting cool me down a bit as we are still baking here in the state of Georgia.
