Wearable art is an exciting part of the Cooroy Body Art Festival featuring fashion creations which are made from recycled materials.
Julie McCrae is a multi-award winning entrant to this competition, and says she is looking forward to catching up to all the other entrants.
“We are a bit like a family who only get to see each other once a year,” Julie said.
Julie has won twice and received the people’s choice award for her incredible entries.
Running a busy blacksmith business, Julie tries to find the time to enter this one competition every year.
“The main reason I do this is to get ideas out of my head, and have that creative outlet outside of work projects,” she said.
“All my pieces have a story that goes along with them, and I explain it to my husband, Luke, and he writes the stories for me. He has a way with words,” Julie said.
So what has been the inspiration behind Julie’s entry into the Wearable Art competition this year?
“It’s a surprise! But I can say that my entry has a personal twist this year,” she said.
The Wearable art competition will be held on Sunday at 1pm, and is sure to wow audiences once again this year.
