Poor Virginiaby ~screamteddy

Artisan Crafts / Textiles / Fiber Art

"...And yes, Virginia, all because,
The truth won't save you now" - The Dresden Dolls - Mrs. O.

_________

The final incarnation of a piece first inspired by Kaoru Izima's 'Landscape with a Corpse' series.

Made with hand made felt (wool tops, alpaca, felt pebbles, linen & viscose fibres, - 20+ hours), hand embroidered with rag doll style cross-stitches, French knots, and general other hand stitching. It's finished with antique silk and mother of pearl buttons (I used the backs of buttons for the straps). I considered adding some old sepia photographs printed onto fabric in some of the spaces, but I think it works without them. I'm really pleased with this, and despite never wanting to do felting ever again, had quite a lot of fun with most of it.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I really love this dress! It is one of my all-time favorites here on DA. It inspired me to make a felt dress of my own:

Best wishes!

Amazing work. I do hope you'll keep up with the felting though

~natalie-carter Jan 12, 2007

I really like this, everytime i make something out of felt i swear to myself never again but always end up going back to it.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
