FISHER & CO : NINE MONTHS SPECIAL

Dears, now that you know about the “nine months + winter” giveaway, I would like to talk about the references I embroidered on this Six Feet Under bag and I have to say, I went a little crazy.

I love the show, I have watched it several times — I even started when it aired for the first time on french TV with the awful french voices — I always cry at the end despite the very strange Peter Jackson’s Hobbit hairs all the charachters seem to grow with age — which it is good by the way, because it brings some laugh in between tears.
I do not want to praise myself, but I am a very good, experimented and versatile crying person, I gave a lot of my tears to the Fisher Family and I did not wait the finale to do so; that being said, I dare anybody not to cry or at least feel emotional during the last episode.

So, because of my love for the show and for so many of its characters, I have had difficulties to choose between all the scenes I wanted to represent and I made very few cuts in my first selection.
Here are the references I could not not embroider : (more…)

Sweet Words

SWEET WORDS, EMBROIDERED WITH THE FEATHER OF A DOVE

The colors of the cotton threads for the Sweet Words serie have been chosen according to the characters, their habits or elements of the scene to which the quote belong :

⋅ Sarah O’Connor often wears lavender clothes, Ruth Fisher is, at the beginning of the show, more a khaki, brown, beige kind of person and Robbie is a florist, so a light green seemed to be a good choice for him;

⋅ Al Swearengen lives in a camp where the shades of brown are everywhere, from the land to the frame houses, the dust and the whiskey the characters drink everyday;

⋅ Senator Clay Davis is often pissed off, I decided to embroider his favorite word in brick red. Bunk always has a cigare in his hand and with McNulty, they also appreciate whiskey, a light tobacco thread was a good color for the both;

⋅ one of the suitcases in the trunk of Josette’s car is fir green and navy checked;

⋅ as for Zissou’s quotes, well the coral tones are an allusion to Commandant Cousteau’s infamous love for dynamite in his very own approach of oceanography.

And now Dears, let me introduce you their embroidered Sweet Words : (more…)

In The Truth is out there series you will find Special Agent Dana Scully and one of her classic questions, a Fox who wants to believe, embroidered flying saucers — and Dear, some of them even glow in the dark — the awfully nightmarish Eugene Tooms, Cigarette smoking man and some more UFOs for the road.
