  Textile Messaging

  Since I am an artist...and see things in aesthitic ways, I started taking old clothes...all sorts, and sewing/attaching cut and torn pieces of them to a piece of jute rope. I use a big needle and strong upholstery cord to make a string of clothing pieces, each irregular in shape, but about 8 to 9 inches high and maybe that wide. I incoporate fronts of shirts that include pockets, and knees that have been scuffed through. After you get seven to ten of these cloth pieces attached, see what they look like strung up...like prayer flags. I call them Urban Prayer Flags, and they can be used to decorate all sorts of areas, inside and out.

  They are a sure sign that an Urban Peasant is nearby!On Umbra on old clothes posted 3 years, 4 months ago 8 Responses
