Side by side on the left a small rectangular mirror in a gold frame with a 5x5 square at the top with a very 90s/00s style anthropomorphic sun artwork.
On the right same mirror, but the sun has been replaced with an embroidery piece. Dark purple velvet with small grey felt discs appliquéd on, as phases of the moon phases which surround an eye. The eye is embroidered and gold embroidery thread and beadwork radiant outwards from
The eye.
Close up of embroidery. Dark purple velvet with small grey felt discs appliquéd on, as phases of the moon phases which surround an eye. The eye is embroidered and gold embroidery thread and beadwork radiant outwards from the eye.
I thrifted this mirror/frame last fall with the intention of replacing the very Pier 1 coded sun art with embroidery. Thrilled with how it turned out, I’m still very new to adding appliqué and beadwork to my embroidery. #handembroidery #embroidery #repurposedart
