Janey Mac East






























Janey reminds me of a mythical creature. Sometimes very dragon like. Gryphon, raptor, panther. You have to know and live with a wolfhound to understand what I mean. They are an ancient breed with many famous stories, myths and folklore. An ancient hound of kings that drove the wolves out of Ireland and could take down a man on horseback during times of war. Deer and stag hunters, hounds of famous Irish warriors. All this material has given me many ideas to try to create in my coats.
One of my favourite mythical creatures are dragons. Then I realized how much I love beautiful silks and Asian fabrics. Dragons, lanterns, bamboo etc., - - it was a lot of fun playing around with some of these ideas. I look forward to finding some more material and ideas.
