Dot Wilson of Opotiki has created the fabulous “fibre and fleece’ event which showcases textile and fashion designers from across the country.
It’s a great entertainment. A fast-paced well presented evening of colour, texture and creative innovation.
Fibre and Fleece 2010 is the 13th showing of a well attended, well supported and obviously well loved event.
There were so many spectacular garments, my favourites were “Out of Africa” a merino knitted coat embellished with felted pieces, with a dress, petticoat, gloves and accessories by Laurel Judd of Napier, “Blue Harakeke” a dress with päua embellishment by Bev Vellenoweth of Maraenui, and “Oak Man” a wooden trench coat of oak timber veneer and possum skin by Mark Bruce of Opotiki
Congratulations to everyone in Opotiki involve in the event, it is a show to be proud of. |
