I really love embroidery. I love that I can take my sketches and turn them into fabric art. Here's my little black bird.
Two 12'' zippers are found in the interior. (They were actually 20'' zippers that I had to shorten.) I chose the light contrasting fabric to line the pockets so it's easier to find what you are looking for. I have a minor pet peeve about dark lined pockets inside purses.
And I have tried my hand at wire wrapping. I have been finding these great vintage buttons lately and really wanted to stretch my imagination on displaying them via wearable art. This was my first attempt using a thrifted 12K gold necklace, gold filled wire, and two tiny crystals.
I guess it turned out alright. I have a bigger plan in mind for the other three matching buttons, but practice makes perfect.
This is so vintage looking. I would buy this! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour embroidered bird is so sweet! I love that you thought to make the interior of the pocket a lighter fabric. And your jewelry piece is really pretty. Looks like you did a nice job on the wire wrapping.
