Pushing outside my comfort zone a little by working on an Illustration Friday challenge.
The theme was "Stitch." This is a photo of a pillowcase that I made. I added lace made by my great grandmother to the edge. The photo was transfered to watercolor paper. The vintage text in the background is from a cooking magazine that my grandmother had.
I also added a few stitches of silk thread to the photo. My great-grandmother worked in a silk factory on the edge of the border between Switzerland and Italy (I'm not sure where the factory was exactly, she was from the Lake Como area of Italy) when she was young.
I like the idea of stitching generations together.... Now lets see if I can stitch some links together : )
