Elaine Unzicker: Crowning Adventures!

Inspiration is everything, right?

Fran walked into the Yes Store in Santa Barbara where my art is on display on a fluke - she had to wait longer for the bus than anticipated. Ideas flowed through his head; possibilities with my art got him motivated. His photographic eyes reached out to me for a creative collaboration at the end of June.

We asked Marie-Pier Tremblay on Instagram @artistofmyownlife to be the beauty wearing my wearable art. And, here’s a couple of the photos showing the results of our efforts. See more about Fran at francollin.com or on Instagram @francollinphoto1. She’s wearing my newest gown, “Twilight” which has a detachable train although it’s not showing here.

Why not come to my Ojai Studio Artists Open Studio on Saturday, July 13 from 10am-5pm to see the “Twilight” dress in person? I’ll be sure to have my jewelry, scarves, and purses for you to see as well. You’ll have the opportunity to visit my studio and several others in the neighborhood. And it’s a free event! Have I enticed you yet? Details for the Open Studio here: https://www.ojaistudioartists.org/saturday-tours/july-second-saturday-studio-tour
