That's beautiful. I love the free-form look of it.
My best friend in high schhool, her mother was kind of a hippie but much cooler, and one year for my birthday she embroidered a pair of jeans for me. It had beautiful vining flowers all up one leg with a few scattered flowers on the other. I know it took her untold hours to make and I wore those jeans until they damn near fell apart. Even after they were basically unwearable I kept them for years for the work of art that they were.
I kind of feel like I'm making a physical journal. That these will be a marker of the moment I'm in right now as I adjust to new medication and get to a healthier part of my life.
These remind me of a cooking programme I saw on TV a while ago. The chef was in Austria and - as they do- was looking at the local crafts. She visited a shop that had been making Lederhosen for generations, all by hand, seams machine stitched but everything else was hand stitched and embroidered. The embroidery was mindblowingly beautiful, done in white and tan. Every pair was made to measure and I had this vision of going to Austria and buying a pair. My dream was destroyed when I found out it cost upwards of £2000 to buy them. Anyway, I'm thinking you should perfect this pants embroidery thing you have going here, move on to suede and leather and make me my dream Laderhosen (we can call yours Ladyhosen).
