SERENDIPITY led Lee Claremont to
apply her art to fabric.

Te was an art collector who happened to sug-
xestto the Kelowna-based artist that the dynam-
ws of her colorful paintings would translate well
to textiles. Phe art collector happened to be Me!
Kotler, president of the Fabricland chain in
Western Canada, who commissioned the artist to
develop a series of works to be printed on fabric.

Spirit, of the Raven and Kokopelli are
Claremont’s first venture into creating art for
fabric printing. The wo design themes were
unveiled in] North Vancouver Wednesday at

Fabricland in Capilano Mall.

The brightly colored designs, printed on
100% couton, are suitable for fashion apparel or
home decorating and crafts. A colleetion of fab-
ric prints based on cach design allows for variety
in the coordination of prints.

Claremont is of Mohawk and Celtic ancestry,
which gives the artist a deep cultural heritage to
draw on. Like her paintings, the fabric designs
are a celebration of her cultural heritage. “Both
worlds have a rich culture, full of symbolism and
traditions,” she savs. Claremont’s fabric designs —
are exclusive to Fabricland in Western Canada.

THE Better Business
Bureau offers the fol-
lowing tips on how to
make your dry cleaning
dollars clean up.

Many people drop off their
clothes without ever taking the
time to point our stains and
problem areas to the dry clean-
er. Others get upset when they
have a suit jacket cleaned and
find it no longer matches the
coordinating pants.

Dry cleaners are fabric-care
professionals, but they often
need information from the cus-
tomer to do a suecesstil job,

According to the
International Fabricare
Institute (EFI), if consumers
follow these tips their clothes
will look great every ume they
come back from the cleaners.

you know about a stain.

of the stain is important to the
cleaner who is trying to remove
a stain.

B Don’t allow a stain to set in.
The sooner a garment is
cleaned, the more likely the
stain will be removable. Don't
be tempted to iron a stained
garment — heat sets the stain.

B Invisible stains from white
wine, soft drinks and sugary
substances seem to disappear
bur can turn brown and are
often permanent.

@ Never remove a care tag.
The label has important infor-
mation for you and your clean-
er.

@ Don’t store vour clothes ina
plastic bag. Once home, store
clothes in a cool, dry place.

@ Prevent prolonged exposure
to light. Many white garments
are treated with optical bright-
eners that yellow when exposed
to heat or light. Be careful of
both sunlight and artificial
lighe.

Q: Can I Dry Clean
my pillows?

A: Yes. A pillow that
needs sanitizing will sag
and droop when held
over your arm. We
remove the feathers
frorn the ticking and
expertly sterilize, fluff
and deodorize them.
Your old ticking is
replaced with
ticking. Your pillow
comes back thicker,
softer, downier — just like
when it was new.
