It's all in the details

Hello!

I want to share some of the detail work from my Time Passages piece.  I really enjoyed working on this, especially making the small fabric-backed key chains.  For each one, I used repurposed bits of fabric, including denim, gauze, calico cotton, and woolen sweaters.  I typed the labels on my old Smith-Corona manual typewriter, and then hand-embroidered each label to the fabric backing.

Each key was individually attached to chicken wire with a small clip.  I didn't count the keys but there had to be well over 200 of them.

Here are some close-ups:



Thanks for peeking!  Stop back soon.
