Show & Tell Friday

Meet Time Plays. The clock is running down a fabric mountain deliberately holding the umbrella away so he can feel the rain. There are a few happy accidents in this piece. The pink fabric on the umbrella was chosen for its vibrancy, but up close it also has two tones of bright and darker pink, which makes the umbrella look wet.

The stitching on the umbrella is super tight to prevent the fabric from unraveling, and it creates this wonderful tiny fringe that gives the piece more depth. The polka dot mountain fabric was hemmed before being stitched onto the embroidery. The hands of the clock read the time of my baby niece's birth.
