Cut Out + Keep

"Hideous & Perfect" Bleached Deconstructed Shirt

I made this shirt to show off my love of Angelspit - and earwigs, apparently.

I haven't gotten a good picture of this since I finished it completely, but I tried to show all the bits in the photos. Lots of bleaching here, and stenciling. My boyfriend is better at drawing than I am, so he made me the two earwig bugs that I glued on, and the teeth (I put a row above and below the words when I was finished.) I used a few strands of rusty red embroidery thread to stitch along the seams, as you can see in the last pic. Finally, I used the ruler and chalk to mark 1" spaced lines down the back, and cut them into strips.
