On the right hand side of this photo, you can see the top of the one front panel is complete. I am going to move across to the other side next, finishing the edges of the sleeves beyond the main trunk of the cloth later.
Filling in this top front panel, I get the feeling of the pieces really coming together into one cloth. The shoulder seam is less stressed, the bottom hangs flatter. The front bows out a bit, making room inside. It is starting to hang like it is a coat, I guess. When I pick it up, it really feels like a garment already.
And I gave the dragon eyes, and a pearl to chase.
Fabulous piece...so much heart and soul!
ReplyDeleteLove it : )
Thank you for stopping by Marie, you are so kind. You remind me to stop by your place, too, where there is always something going on!
DeleteJust came over from Jude's Diaries to enjoy your blog. Once I got reading, I couldn't put it down, so to speak. Fascinating, your take on recycling/upcyclying/gathering. And then you're doing such interesting things with your accumulation. Very lovely. I will visit again.
ReplyDeletebest from Tunisia,

Thank you for coming over Nadia, I enjoy your blog a lot and have for years now. I expect that living in Tunisia you see the level of re-integration of waste back into the production stream that I can only marvel at. In fact, I remember a great post of yours about enterprises that salvage doors, windows and metal. I read it twice, I think! See you over at Diaries.
Deletealso visiting from Magic Diaries. having scrolled back quite aways, I am blown away by both your vision/stitching/compositions and the way things come to you. the way you find them. the way this urban landscape which could so easily be described as scarred, barren, used up, is a treasure chest to you. I really look forward to following your finds and creations more!
