"Mayan Soul Coat" Open Front Art Coat by Wendy Ponca

Artist and designer Wendy Ponca is skilled in beadwork, jewelry, silk-screen printing, ribbon work, using contemporary and tradition design and symbolism and with works in permanent museum collections and ongoing exhibitions. She is a retired fine arts instructor, Pendleton blanket designer, fashion and theater costume designer. For this piece she created for Singular Couture, she used the Mayan glyph for the soul and calls the piece Mayan Soul Coat.

Her choice of neon orange, white and brown on the hot pink silk is a striking combination and gives it a strong, contemporary, urban look. We're playing with some fun fabric colors lately and Wendy took this one and ran with it as only she knows how to do. What a great look: tons of pop and energy with a spare design that lets the colors shine.

Wear this over basic black or a column of white to dress up. Or wear with your favorite distressed skinny jeans and ballet flats. This one can go in so many directions and look amazing in each!
