Upcycled Denim Jacket (UK 8): Hand-Painted 'Be Here Now' Art

A hand painted piece of wearable art to spread a little love, compassion and kindness in the world. 

I hope this piece acts as a reminder of the importance of slowing down and being present. Life is now. This moment is the only reality there is. Be in it. Notice it. Breathe. I love the idea that someone could be rushing around along the street- a busy bee, somewhere to be and then they see someone wearing this jacket in front of them. It might just be the reminder they need to slow down and enjoy the moment. Busy lives can create a lot of stress and anxiety and, sometimes taking a moment to just 'be' is the best thing we can do for our wellbeing.
