Sequin Update

I've been working steadily on my sequin apron and it's coming along; I'm trying to do at least an hour on it every single day and progress is being made but it's just very s-l-o-w. I'm currently on the outside of the pocket and should get that finished this week.

A few weeks ago I completed the inside of the pocket - a masochistic pursuit as it was awkward to sew and seemed to take forever but it was SO worth it.

I find myself quite fascinated by the patterns the sequins make when they're piled up in my little glass bowl. I especially like it when they form clumps. There may be a piece of work in this at some point.

Oh, and I made a short video about the sequins. Naturally, it also features the chickens; I swear, these chickens are going to end up more famous than me (which admittedly, wouldn't be hard!)

  1. That is BRILLIANT.

    I love the whole apron / glamour thing, and the way that sequins are such a peculiarly labour-intensive embellishment (even more so than beads, I suppose, at least if you're taking two stitches through each one).

    Plus, chickens!

  4. Maybe restricting it one hour is the answer to intensive, repetitive processes? Or is that too obvious a comment? I like very much how you are dealing with this piece on this sequin update.

  7. Even though the apron looks lovely, I suggest taking more photos in the direction of the second shot you posted. I believe if you play with the lighting with that setting you can come out with some really nice shots.

    Kudos on your work!
