Description
The denim spider jacket was inspired by the shape of the tear dress, but with a denim jean jacket twist. It is made with three colors of denim fabric, including the checkerboard. Cotton water spider fabric is used to make the diamond cutouts. Antique size 11/0 cobalt white heart beads are beaded as a Pequot edge along the shoulders and down the lapel to the waist as well as around the edges of the large patchwork on the back. It is a size medium and is one-of-a-kind.
Materials
