Yea, exploration of femininity after the loss of my paternal matriarch. Pretty fully loaded imagery, particularly given the materials. Kind of painful in retrospect, but I definitely needed to make it. I was dressing like a Mennonite at the time as well, pretty classic phases. Eh.
The sisal I used was so curly from being on its spool that I chose to steam-iron it into submission, it still smells like hay in the apartment.
Techniques and methods: I will mention here my gratitude for the universal applicability of crochet hooks, especially when a nice long and sharp awl is at the ready to accompany any such endeavor as threading a pillow onto a chair :)
Embroidery, hand and machine sewing, wrapping and mache-ing, and deconstruction!
