Closing her eyes, she absorbed the textures, colors and patterns into her mind until she saw her own pieces come to life through her vivid imagination. “I was obsessed with transforming an article of clothing into my own look and style. I would take a shirt, skirt or dress, and add to it or extract from it, and morph it until it had a new look of its own, one which I envisioned. Once, I took a pair of jeans and made a purse for a school friend. Another time, I made a belt for my grandmother out of a pile of dimes. At the time, I thought it was just a hobby. But then people started asking me to make a one-of-a-kind something for them.”
