More embroidery...

These are some samples that I made for my embroidery project. Both machine embroidered and inspired by microscopic body images.

Soulmate dry your eye, because soulmates never dye.

This was an embroidery project for my materials exploration class. It was supposed to reflect something very personal that happened in our lives. I chose to make my eye because a lot of my personal experiences are moments that visually I never forget. This was machine embroidered on linen and cotton. The eyeball was attached separately to create a more 3d effect. The cotton was hand painted for both the green and the orange colors. I love embroidery, it has a very sketchy feeling, I feel like Im drawing on fabric with thread.

Faerie-ality

This was a necklace I made for my print class. It was part of a costume design for the play Madama Butterfly. The belt, bracelet and the top part of the necklace are crochet with mohair yarn. The necklace is made of layers of organza with disperse dyes printed. Very fantasy and fairy tale inspired. Theres a book called Fairie-ality that really inspired the theme of my costume.

This is a corset belt I also made for my costume it is on brown vinyl and machine embroidered with multicolor thread. 

This was the skirt made of a silk stiched waist piece and layers of stitched and dirperse dyed organza.

I love the transparency this fabric gives as it is layered.
