The time had come to part with my favourite thread barren painting jeans. I was reluctant to let them go!

They seamed like a part of me, a part of my art practice! But really, I wasn’t into putting patches on the inner thighs.

But then I got an idea! What if I repurposed them into a painting skirt!

So I grabbed a pair of scissors and with apprehension cut the legs off!

I started cutting up the legs to use for panels but I didn’t have enough. What to do?

My partner is a painter too and has a wardrobe of white painter’s pants. I found a pair that needed to be discarded and cut into them.

Three hours later I had a new painting skirt!

Who knows I might start a trend!
