Project Tea Bag

Last Wednesday evening at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Gardens in Providence, RI, the Tea kimono (1000 Tea Bags) made its debut. Groundworks Providence, a non-profit grassroots organization that supports programs and public gardens in Providence held it's 7th annual fashion show fundraiser. Recycled Fashions were the stars of the evening, as volunteers modeled clothing out of alternative materials like bear tabs, magazines, shower curtains, and, you guessed it, old tea bags. The gala was well attended, including some local notables like Providence Mayor David Ciccolini and a handful of other celebs like Karen Adams from Channel 12 news. It was a fabulous evening and I give much credit to all the folks who worked so hard to organize and put the show together. I may just design something new for next year.....
