Marginalia on my jacket! This was such an impulse project but I’m very pleased with how it turned out!
Details:
I've been working on a library-themed patch vest for a bit, and since it's Solarpunk Aesthetic Week, I figured it'd be fun to post what I have so far.
The front. [ID: A blue denim vest with colourful patches and pins on the chest pockets and shoulder panels. Most of the patches are library or book related. End ID.]
Close-ups of the front. [ID: Two close up photos of the front patches and pins. They feature book related imagery and slogans like "Read Books and Dismantle Systems of Oppression", "Wishbone Book Club Member", "Libraries are for Everyone", "Check This Out", "Proud to be a Radical Militant Librarian", and "No Shelf Control". End ID.]
The Back. [ID: The back of the same vest, which currently features 5 patches. The biggest one covers most of the back panel, and reads "Support Your Local Library, Free Information is Punk". A smaller patch directly above it says "Read Banned Books". The other patches include a UFO patch that reads "I'm Out", a book patch that reads "The Characters are Fictional, but the Emotional Damage is Real", and a patch with an image of an oak leaf and acorns. There is still a lot of blank space left to be filled. End ID.]
I need to make more patches for this one, so if anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them! 😁
Finally getting around to posting my Ashton jacket. Been working on it for over a year, and there's only a tiny bit of space left. Also, it weighs, like, 20 pounds. 😂
The front.
[ID: The front of a black jacket with grey hoodie sleeves and a hood, and red-and-black plaid shoulder panels. Almost every inch of the jacket is covered in colourful patches and pins. End ID]
Close-ups. [ID: a series of close-up photos of the patches and pins on the front of the jacket. Many feature slogans like, 'Smiley Day', 'DIY or Die', 'No Libraries, No Democracy. Freedom of Information for all', and 'Save on Groceries, Eat a Weston'. End ID]
The Back. [ID: The back of the same jacket, which has 'Just Don’t' painted in the middle in large, graffiti-style letters, and a variety of patches surrounding them. The patches feature slogans like 'Eat the Rich', 'Land Back', and 'Be Nice'. End ID]
The Hems [ID: The hem of the jacket has two slogans embroidered in red and white thread around the circumference: 'Pain = Chronic, Vibe = Iconic', and 'Anger is a Rational Response to Injustice'. End ID]
I painted the back of the jacket with fabric paint, and made most of the patches and all the wooden pins by hand. The ones I didn't make myself were all purchased from artists at my local Punk Rock Flea Market or from locally-owned shops, with a couple that I got from Etsy. I still have a tiny bit of space on the back that I might embroider something in, but I haven’t decided what yet (if anyone has ideas, feel free to comment!).
I'm pretty happy with it. My only problem is it's way too hot to wear right now, lol. 😂
Bleach painting!!
It was done using leftover hair bleach :) yippee no waste crafts! There was more i didnt get pictures of (:
Starlo Kicks
I repainted my tennis shoe flats :3!! They are inspired by Starlo, but vague enough that they’ll go with various outfits, just being blue and gold.
The toes of the shoes, tongue flaps, and edges are blue. The backs, around the laces, and front stars are gold. Smaller stars are painted around the back in blue.
The laces were dyed yellow & orange, and I added celestial pendants to them.
I still stand by the fact that getting topsurgery is one of the best desicions I've made, but now having to change what used to be one of my fav. tops so I can wear it again (mind u, it's a lace top, there is very few applications to wear it, BUT I at least wanna have the option) is getting annoying cause it needs way more changing than I thought xD
Who could have guessed removing 1.5kg (3.3lbs) of tissue could affect the way clothing fits?! /j
Taking a little art break and doing some sewing on my pants!
