Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures. When she grew older, the 15 year old discovered the joy ofsewing. She says she finds it calming. She started out making small objects, like jewelry and soft playthings. Over time, she began making clothing. Her love of the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue Bunnies is the name of her company, which makes what she calls wearable art. My definition of wearable art is something that makes you feelunique. It’s one of a kind, often handmade, she explains. She sells her creations in farmers markets, at sales for local churches, and other places. All the pieces Ellie creates are made of used or donated fabrics. She says there are 21 billion tons of cloth material in waste landfills in the United States. The teenager hopes to reduce that amount through her work. She works a lot withjean jackets, renewing them with artistic additions. The process starts with finding cloth material that looks good with the jackets. Then, I find out the design that works on it throughtrial and erroror maybe just the design comes to me, she explains. Ellie credits her mother for pushing her children to develop their artistic skills.
