Using a Skirt as a Canvas, and Silk Chiffon as Paint
My first obsession is designing women's dresses, with a close second being painting and sketching. I try to combine my appreciation for art, culture and fashion design in the pieces I create, taking inspiration from modern and historic artists. Working in Manhattan during the summertime is intense and beautiful, making this combination easy to flow. The city is buzzing with people from all over the world, the parks are in full bloom and the vibrant energy is either going to drain you or fill you with the same pulsing energy...
Magenta, Fuchsia, Lipstick Red, Petal Pink, Wine and Black Colorful Painterly Silk Chiffon Skirt
The Colorful Painterly Skirt was designed with an attempt to capture the pulsing energy of the city and the exhilaration that comes from feeling alive and free. The desire was to create a piece of pure joy- a skirt that you would wear on one of your best days. A day when you want to be noticed, a day when you feel like you're on your way to conquer the world, spinning like a ballerina on your way there...
The process of making the skirt started with creating a skirt pattern, then cutting a silk chiffon base and paper skirt map. Using colorful magenta, fuchsia, lipstick red, petal pink, wine and black silk chiffon 1.5 inch bias strips as a reference, I created the design, mapping it out with pencil on the paper map once I finalized the design and color placement.
Once the skirt map was completed, the edges of the silk skirt pieces were sewn onto the map to secure the silk, then the silk was painstakingly basted down to keep the silk from slipping around. Once the silk base was secure, I proceeded to sew the bias strips onto the base following the map. Sewing the bias strips was the most time consuming part of the process, since there were hundreds of strips that went into filling in the skirt. After the bias strips were sewn onto the base, the paper map needed to be gently pulled away from the silk. The resulting skirt base was then completed with a belt, zipper, lining and a hand finished hem.
The skirt took over a hundred hours to make, but it was a rewarding process that I was able to work on late at night once my mind was too numb to think about more demanding projects. Design for me is about expressing emotion and creating something new and original. We all express ourselves differently, some with words, actions, or creativity. Expressing myself through artistic means has always made the most sense, and I will never tire of the freedom to do so. XOXO, Kate Stoltz

How To Recover Your Hard Earned Money From Cryptocurrency Investment Fraudsters, NFT Scam, Romance scam or Funds Lost To Wallet Hack.
Please be safe out there.
I was ripped off my hard earned money over the years of hard work in the Crypto-space.
I fell victim to an unknown circumstance by a fake airdrop link, which I unknowingly engaged with and has cost me to lose all my funds, including money from my business associates, all wiped out.
I was broken, frustrated, depressed and even at the point of committing suicide,
after being scammed again by a false hacker.
But one lucky day as i was navigating the Internet on how to get help legally, i bumped into a post that was hosting a platform as regards Internet fraud, so i joined because of the topic.
It was an interesting session, I heard lots of testimonies and guides that were helpful on how to restore lost funds and lots of other hack-related services.

ASSET RECLAIM IS POSSIBLE WITH THE RIGHT FIRM:
There is a glimmer of hope through ICC RECOVERY SERVICE, and I am voluntarily publishing this review so that others can lean on ICC RECOVERY. In the world of online trading, propelled by promises of financial independence and opportunity, lies a harrowing journey. I was caught in a web of fraud and disillusionment when the investment platform mediating my trades betrayed my trust. My quest for justice led me down a path filled with stories and bitter testimonials – negative reviews that painted a grim picture of fraud and exploitation by similar online trading platforms. In my search for redress, I came across ICC RECOVERY SERVICE on Yelp. Guided by reviews and recommendations from other victims, I turned to ICC – a beacon of hope in my murky waters of cybercrime and financial fraud. ICC RECOVERY SERVICE quickly became my ally in my fight for justice, offering not only technical expertise but also an unwavering commitment to reclaiming what was rightfully mine.

Masters
I was absolutely impressed with the LOST RECOVERY MASTERS service’s high
professionalism and hacking prowess. They successfully recovered my
lost password after a few hours of deploying their equipment to allow
BIP38 decryption of the private key for Dodge I’d held since 2019.
There is obviously a high level of trust involved in handing over keys
and possible passwords but carrying out my due diligence with reviews
and one recommendation from someone I already knew, gave me the
confidence I needed. The Doge was worth 100’s of thousands of dollars
and he deducted the agreed commission and assisted me with getting it
safely to my exchange. I’ve since monetized the coin so it’s real.
Mightily impressed and grateful for their services after somewhat giving
up on thinking I would never realize the substantial theoretical gain.
I gave Recovery Masters as many seeds of various passwords I had been
using around that era and as much information I could help and that
greatly assisted the task. Their tech skills and equipment were just
what were needed for the job and wish them all the success with lots
more enquiries. You can learn more on their Website
