While I was at the Shemer Art Center, I browsed the current show about Fiber Art. I especially liked this piece called Crocodile Crozier by Carol Eckert.
She states that this shirt appears to be a entry level workers food workers uniform and it was found early in 2009 when the nation was headed into an economic crisis. The artist, Ann Morton states that finding it at that period of time makes a poignant statement about what was happening in the nation.
She has cut star shapes from the fabric and left some connected to the garments framework and other individual stars are on the floor below it.

I really like that first piece or first two pieces (counting the "heron") but I'm not sure about the tattered shirt. I'd want to get a whisk broom and clean up the mess! :-)
Re your comment on Ocala DP: Hope they were good images conjured!
I like folk art. The Collective Cover Project sounds interesting if a bit strange. I'm glad you shared these two.
I love that second piece.
It never ceases to amaze me how inventive the artistic imagination can be Sharon, fabulous pieces here.
I like that first piece too, very intriguing piece.
I like both of these pieces!
I like the first piece. The second one - not as much, though it does seem to tell a story.
The first piece is wonderfully creative.
