Sonya is one of my favorite fashion designers.  She comes up with the most amazing creations such as the outfit featured in this portrait!  If I remember correctly, the netting on her skirt is from a table cloth.  She takes ordinary items and turns them into extraordinary fashion items!  Please check out her blog:  ( www.ladyfits.blogspot.com ) Sonya has recently had the opportunity to work on projects in New York City.  I'm really excited for her!  Though I hope she returns soon because she adds a lot to the art and fashion community here in Cedar Rapids.  :)
