Recycled Cowgirl
Outdated phone books created this little number!
Pages from old phone books were woven together to make the western style skirt and vest. The look continues with the pages applied to the used cowgirl hat and vintage “pee-wee” cowgirl boots. Used CDs create the silver accents on the outfit. This rough and ready suit required 125 hours to create. Created in 2002.
