Artist's Comments
"...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.

How large is it in reality? I like the photograph idea... although it works well without it, the photographs would add more... emotion I guess to the piece. You could always cheat and photoshop them on and see how it looks before actually taking needle and thread to it.
It's probably about 1 metre tall...maybe...I don't have it with me to measure ><
Mm yeah, I agree about the emotion thing but I think it'd look a bit fussy on this piece. If I ever go crazy and decide I want to make more felt, I'd quite like to make this a series (that was the original idea), and I would include one dress with photographs.
Also, good, I was thinking you were crazy insane and made a full size dress, because I couldn't tell from the picture... and... well... yeah, I would have to sit in awe of your dedication. Well, I already do, because I wouldn't be able to sew anything that small (I do costuming..nothing from scratch like felting, just, you know... buy stuff and stick it together ^.^) let alone make the fabric for it and ...yeah. Kudos ^.^
