City of Craft Toronto Installation
November 6, 2009 | Posted in: Featured, Projects
A while back I tweeted that I was accepted into the City of Craft festival in Toronto in December, so I figured I’d give you a quick shot of the work-in-progress. I had a very definate idea in mind for this, wanting to emulate stencil graffiti in stitch and so I figured I could probably use blackwork for that. What do you think, has it worked out? There’s still a few more pieces to stitch to complete it, but they’re simpler than this so – come hell or high water – I will get this finished this weekend!
Overall pic. Because this piece is so large (stitched are is ~60cm high) it doesn't fit on any of my frames and I have to stitch in hand. The creases WILL be removed from the finished piece!

Wow ! It’s fantastic. I really like the result. It is a very interesting piece. Do you have a shot of it completely finished ?

Hi Charlie. I actually don’t have a shot of it finished – it wa such a hurried rush to get it shipped off in the end that I forgot to take one. I hope the City Of Craft gets a nice shot of it hanging in it’s exhibition space and then I’ll be sure to post the link.
