Sitting Pretty


I admit it. I own far too many pairs of jeans! Dress jeans, torn jeans, skinny jeans, fat jeans; yes I have them all. One of the things that I realized that attracted me to some of my jeans are their back pockets- which are often quite fancy and detailed. So, for The Three Muses challenge this week (Pockets) I took photos of the back pockets on 5 different pairs of my jeans and made a digital collage from them. I cropped, arranged and added artistic filters and some digital text for fun. Some day I may look back on this collage and wonder - how did I ever sit down! Such a slave to fashion!

  1. I love this Lori! It's funny because I had a pair of jeans that I made into a tote---never finished the embroidery but thought about photographing the pockets and doing the same thing!! Great minds think alike.

  3. Beautiful pockets! They made me think of something I made for my daughter when she was in high school and recycled denims were in vogue. I went to Goodwill and bought some old jeans (you could do that then for a quarter or so) and cut off all the pockets, then embroidered on each pocket. Then I attached them one above the other down the outer seam of a pair of her jeans. She loved those jeans! Thanks for reminding me!

  12. Lori you certainly do have a wonderful collection of jeans, and I'm a tad jealous as it's a long time since skinny jeans were an option for me. (Sigh)

    Your pocket collage is a beauty my friend. Take a very deep bow.
