THREADS & BONDS - PROCESS

MAKING DREAMS

Embroidery of Dreams on frame. Deconstructed 24 year old Vans. Potential embroidery components. Individual components of one shoelace. Digital print of Far Cry shirt - hand painted & transformed into 3D flowers. Family textiles - inspo for design & final outcome.


MAKING ADVENTURES

Reminder of the shoes pre-make-over. Embroidery layout based on my Grandma's slippers. Hand stitched tulle base. Floral cutouts based on my Great Aunty Doll's dress. New velvet inner sole - disperse ink & hand painted. Little 3D stacks of embroidery using fabric & glass beads.


MAKING MEMORIES

Finished piece on frame. Final outcome inspired by 'Dusters' bag & floral inspo from my Great Aunty Doll's pinafore. The dress my Grandma wore to my parents wedding. Goldwork embroidery couching inspired by organic forms on my Grandma's dress.
 

MAKING LIFE STORIES

Sentimentality saved the shirt from its intended deconstruction. Instead, its carefully treasured & preserved within delicate fabric. A little pocket to store Life Stories Embroidery based on shirt design (& record cover).
