Sharon Sutera
I have always thought of myself as a collage artist. From first using old pieces of broken jewelry and milinary flowers found at yard sales as materials for one of a kind wreaths, to then, for over 10 years, designing costumes for my dancers and hoopers at Sharon Fit Belly dance studio in NJ. During that time I began to upcycle wool and cashmere. There is something special about rescuing unwanted and discarded sweaters, cutting them up, and refashioning them into wearable, colorful new pieces.
Originally inspired by the famous Katwise, I have since found my own point of view. Creating, hoodies, coats, dresses, hats, hoods, scarves, leg and arm warmers, and beginning to incorporate my new passion, felted flowers and felted wool dreadlocks.
Wool and cashmere are valuable gifts shared with us from sheep and goats, too precious to discard over a small insignificant hole or stain.This is my small way of saving the planet one sweater at a time.
