| These are two amazing photos by Hoddick Photography , of models David Cadran and Meyru Bhanti strutting their stuff on the runway of Experienced Goods Home Furnishing 's "Wild Night on the Catwalk: Compassion for Fashion" ~ A benefit for Brattleboro Area Hospice. The suit on the left was designed by Cindy Leszczak, an outstanding and talented woman whom I've known my whole life (her husband, Rick Veitch worked with my father, Stephen Bissette illustrating Alan Moore's Swamp Thing ). The ensemble on right one of my first ever fashion designs created from re-purposed clothing that came from the Experienced Goods Home Furnishing store. |

| These original design ideas where reassessed as I sewed the final pieces. Much of what I ended up with was guided by the process of creation. |

| Model Rebecca Savage Keppler and I have been friends since 4th grade, and she looked amazing on the runway wearing this classy little black dress that I created from a shawl. |

| Backstage with the Mellow Maidens: (right to left) Rebecca Savage Keppler, Maggie Bernhard, Meyru Bhanti and myself pose for our hair and make-up artist Joanna Terry, owner and operator of "Natural Beauty"; a wonderful little salon located in Guilford, VT. Joanna also designed the necklaces featured on Meyru and Maggie. Her talented vision completed my designs and her relaxed attitude made my night. I hope to work with her again in the future. |
