Dragonfly Libellule 3D Insect Embroidery

Inspired by the beautiful insects on the clothing of residents of Quath in Game of Thrones… Done on a perpetually re-purposed wedding dress I use for EVERYTHING!! Improvised Dragonfly with wedding dress and felt remnants. Entirely pose able due to the wire legs, wings and body insert.

The Red Badge of Courage!

Here’s a new badge for my Moonrise Kingdom inspired Camp Bag! It is simply created with a remnant of red felt that is back stitched without guides and improvised. In order to be able to blanket stitch the countour, I double backed the felt with fusible webbing. It took an evening to complete.

WIP Wings of Quath

622670_10151311977138824_507221147_oA few years ago I bought a wedding dress. Perhaps I should mention that I collect such vintage things and turn them into non wedding related crafts (I hate weddings.) So far I have made so many things with it including a really sweet flapper dress (right) and many embroidered hearts.

This weekend I discovered close up photos of the costumes of Game of Thrones (French) and I have been busy as a bee testing out various techniques to build something similar, notably a fabric insect like those that adorn the clothing of the people of Quath.

Now I am making a huge dragonfly! Perhaps, if it is successful it will wind up on a fascinator! (Because I can’t wear hats…)  See my Flickr stream for the process of making a wing.
