My Craft Entry: An embellished Jean Jacket

Well, I entered the Etsy-Craft co-sponsored contest, and i didn't win anything (which is disappointing given how much I spent on this project), but I like my entry.. Not as much as I would have had I not gotten de-motivated halfway through, but I do like it so I'm not terribly displeased. It is for sale over here and extra embellishments are added at the buyer's request.

The jacket is a plain slightly stretchy dark-colored denim jacket with brass buttons down the front, 2 chest pockets, and a nice collar, button cuffs, etc. Pretty basic, womens size large. You'll notice you can see the sparkle paint through the beads because of the flash, but the beads actually look quite a bit more "solid" in real life under natural light. Like I said, embellishments added as desired- I might sew some beads onto the cuffs and stuff and add new detail pictures as is, but I don't want to bling it out too much in case someone just wants the nice "Craft:" logo, you know?

Interested in the magazine the contest was inspired by? Head over here to see Craft: Magazine.

YOU Din't WIN...We should all complain, this ROCKS! All the hard work that went into it too...well, if it's any second prize...if anyone had bothered to ask ME (the self appointed art czar) then you would have won for style and wit hands down!
Keep up the great work...
*Big Grins to you*
