Most people are not familiar with what boho style is. That's not unusual, since the style is not usually considered popular, nor fashionable. The boho style was originally worn as a way to defy traditional fashion norms. It stems from the Czech Bohemians, a nomadic group of people who rejected traditional values in their art, music, thinking and dress.

Although the style is not traditional nor the first choice of fashionistas, it is becoming more accepted in normal life. People are dropping restraints and norms to wear what they personally deem is appropriate--applying personal taste to be expression-ally beautiful!

More acceptable now, than when I was growing up, I remember hem lengths being very rigid if you were to be considered "cool". I've seen that change until these days any length skirt (except maybe micro mini) is usually accepted by the general public. More casual, comfortable and creative styles have emerged as "boho" or the "boho-chic" style.

Why?
Why am I talking about a fashion style; I don't usually discuss style in this blog. Well, I feel a little bit "boho" when I work with my fabrics in creating wrist cuffs and other art pieces for my Abigail Jayne shop .

When working with the fabrics, beads, and embellishments, I strive to be creative not worrying about breaking all the conventional rules in coming up with a final art piece. I make comfortable choices and use what I have.

In my wearable pieces, the goal is: beautiful and individual.

I want my pieces to comfortably fit, whether on the body or in the environs of your space (my wall art not pictured here). So, I think that I am currently defining my style as boho, and entering a new phase of creativity!
Anyone else have changing tastes emerging in your art?
