embroidered people jacket

[Katxena]

Wow.  That jacket is amazing.  I'm in awe of your skills!  Did you design the people yourself?

i agree that bush is, in fact, a mark ass trick. and i'm also curious about your reference for the people. i intended that to be my first question, but i was distracted by the awesomeness.

The people are copied from all sorts of things- album covers (ex. gram parsons), book covers (that's sister carrie at the bottom, Oedipa Maas is on there, although not clearly in the picture) and images a found in newspapers/magazines.  Also some are copied from photos of my friends/family.  There is also a werewolf and an elephant.  I think of it as a psychedelic dance party...

That is so cool.  I am so very jealous!!!

Wow. What a great idea.  What material is the jacket?  Was there any pattern or reason for the people chosen or just random?

Absolutely love the disco guy!!!!

[dyabolica]

wow. envy. want.

That is so rad.  What kind of fabric is the jacket made of, and how thick was the floss that you used?  I am so in love with this, its not even funny.
