#also the KING is in way a reference to Florence’s song King which infected my brain and changed me 👍

pair of gloves I made!!! finished them like two months ago at this point and I’m still mourning the fact it’s way too hot to wear em out. I sewed them while they were on my hands/arms mostly to get a close fit though you pay for that in a million pin pricks. I got pin pricks in the shape of a heart on my right hand from this so uh. I don’t encourage this unfortunately I’d do it again. also that does mean that I was sewing with my left hand for a fair bit of the right glove which went way better than it should’ve, honestly!

yeah though, it’s all made out of scrap material— the KING is written in alcohol marker on umbrella fabric, heart is cut out of umbrella fabric, all the various lace is from a childhood dress, most of everything else is old t shirt and sock material. the green lace up part is actually lace from an old dress that I dyed with food colouring— which was a very funny experience, cooking a horrendous vinegar-water-food colouring mixture on the stove top with scrap fabric in it for like 30 minutes. I am astounded that it WORKED.

also the threads are purposefully poking out and shit, I wanted it to be messy and multi coloured

yeah!!! all it takes is a couple days and the audacity, as usual
