(audience cheers and upbeat music)
For me, I discovered our next guest
after buying one of her pill bottles here in the city.
And she's an artist, turns out
she's been doing it for a very long time.
She's from New York City.
She painted her dress herself.
(audience gasps and claps)
I did.
Say hello to my friend, Sarah Coleman.
(audience cheers)
Sarah, how you doing?
How you doing Wendy?
Can I touch it? Yeah!
Is it hard?
Of course.
Oh yup, it's the real deal paint.
I did, I finished it this morning.
You did?
Yeah.
I love it.
I did.
Okay, with the handle and everything.
Yes.
A Vuitton cherry folding chair?
Yes, so these, I make folding chairs.
That's one of my main canvases.
I used Louis Vuitton Murakami bags for this one.
Yes.
So on the back, it has the inside of the bag, and-
Hold on.
Oh my god, right, okay.
No, I want to show.
And the handle is from another, it's from a Speedy bag.
But everything is sort of one of a kind signed.
Where do you get the stuff though?
Sold as art-
Where do you get the materials?
Yeah, so I get it from resellers
who authenticate the bags.
Right.
Everything is-
Secondhand stores!
Yeah.
Consignment shops.
Yes.
And so this is another piece.
Makes you want to be a housewife.
Shout out to all the housewives.
(audience cheers)
Wow, this is a vintage vacuum cleaner that I did
for a Garage Magazine, for a shoot for them.
The bag, as you can see, is made from Louis Vuitton luggage.
This is not something
that you'd actually use in your house.
This is a piece, what you call a piece of art.
Yes.
I would love this, just sit it there.
Mmmm, and stare.
(audience cheers)
And so this is the milk carton.
I used Fendi luggage.
I make a lot of these, I love-
What kind of glue do you use to keep all this together?
Because everything is really- imagine opening
your refrigerator and saying, oh-
(crowd laughs)
Yeah I mean I've used different kinds of glue.
I've really perfected where to put it, how to hold it,
and sort of like how to dry everything.
It's, you know, I really just love
taking high luxury and like more common objects
and just bringing that together-
When Sarah and I met and I called her up, you know,
and I said, you know, I even have art in my refrigerator.
I said, I love this kind of stuff.
And she said, I make stuff to go with, like,
if you open my refrigerator, there's, well, not that
but you know, what is this, coupons?
Yes.
Oh, anybody could do this!
Yeah.
Go ahead, this is coupons and glue and?
Yeah, so basically I'm like, I really love how graphic
the coupons are that come inside the newspaper.
Yeah.
And even just like images.
Should I tip it?
This one's a little heavy.
No, it's okay, go ahead.
But-
This is really something.
Yeah and sort of just collage them together
like any sort of-
Coupons on the back and everything.
Super fun.
So you can make this at home,
you go out and you're like, whatever a folding chair costs,
and do this, even with magazine covers, look more coupons.
This one has more-
This is a table?
Yeah.
With Campbell's soup cans?
Yes.
Glued!
As legs.
(audience claps)
Oh my gosh.
And look and bottle caps on the side to finish it.
I love stuff like this.
Me too.
I love like just taking, you know,
sometimes I just see something that's in my apartment,
I'm like, I need to make that into-
I do it all the time.
Yeah it's so fun.
You know, a lot of this sort of happens,
like with the Fendi, Fendi reached out to me to redo
their store
In Miami!
Yes.
Uh huh.
(audience claps and cheers)
You know, like we took a lot of the fabric that they use
for their bags, like the end of line materials
and re-covered all the furniture in the store.
So just taking things that are used for one thing, and-
Do you have a website where people can get your stuff?
You can find me on Instagram, Sarah Coleman.
If you wanted to get one of, something like this,
these are clearly more high end, but these right here,
maybe Sarah can give you directions.
Yes.
Or just go to Wendy Show dot com or something.
Figure something.
You can make this.
Yeah.
Come on.
I know, it's-
This is really cute, what is it?
It's really fun, and so I actually brought you a gift.
A few.
(crowd claps and cheers)
I know.
(crowd claps and cheers)
Yes!
So this, I brought you your hot sauce.
Thank you!
And some designer-
Look at the top!
Flowers.
Yeah.
And then I also brought you-
A folding chair!
Your own folding chair.
Sarah!
(audience claps)
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Is there anything else more that people
need to know about you?
You know, just sort of, I have,
I do a lot of posting and like fun activities
and I post everything I make on Instagram.
So you can follow me there and you can message me
if you have anything that you want to make with me.
Her name is Sarah Coleman.

I'm going over on Friday.
We're not doing crafting.
I actually also prefer to do it alone with my dog.
So when-
Me with my- exactly!
Yeah.
