Salvaging Textiles

One can find interesting textiles at the Goodwill "bins," or "Outlet Store." They are priced by the pound, so one can pick up a good variety for experimenting.

I made a jacket of several salvaged textiles -- it was the centerpiece of a "performance art" project assigned by my painting teacher.
