"Miniature Clothing Project" began in 1993. One may assume these are only doll clothes. They are not. They are miniaturized versions of beloved keepsakes taking on a life of their own. People tell their stories through these miniatures as I painstakingly sew each by hand. The collar is used for the miniature collar, the left sleeve for the small left sleeve etc. When you touch it you are touching the original in the same place insuring the integrity of the original.
Jon,
ReplyDeleteAs a looked at the photo taken by Shawn of several garments, I imagined the people belonging to the garments. I also that about the "place" they were in when they wore them. I can't imagine the painstaking stitchwork to create them...no doubt a labor of love.
