Spring is here, and with that I wanted to rejuvenate my pair of red jeans.
Some time ago I accidently got remnants of strong glue on my pants, that were IMPOSSIBLE to get of. Even tried to dye it red again, but no. So I finally felt inspired by this shift to warmer weather and got hold of some embroidery threads. I wanted to make som Wild Pansy's, since those are one of my favourite flowers. Not as neatly as Kaketsugi (invisible mending), or geometric like Sashiko but still in the realms of japanese wabi sabi philosophy. I wanted to make something new from an old accident.
The picture on the left was taken after I made the first two flowers, and you can see the kind of stains that I was trying to hide marked with red circles. Image on the right shows the flower added after the first picture.
Four stains = four flowers, and now the work is done.
Just for fun here is two of the pictures I used as an reference.
Have a great springtime! :-)
