Because this piece has to be wearable, it cannot have the heavy backing and more extreme sewing used on other pieces. The finer sewing took more time, but doesn’t photograph well. I draped the stole over a mannequin, pushed the mannequin out into the sunlight, and photographed it in bright, shadowed light. This is NOT allowed for show submissions, but it does display the textured stitching, at least a little better.
