Embroidery stitched directly through a vinyl record sleeve.  

12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.

     Goat’s Head Soup was a challenging project. The album cover features a photograph of Mick Jagger with organza draped over his face. Because of this his image is out of focus and obscured by the fabric. I wanted to represent the album as closely as possible so I started by stitching the details of his face and eyes in loose wool thread. I also embroidered part of the colors of the fabric and shadows that the fabric would create over his face. Then as the final touch I used actual folded organza over the album and tacked it in place. This is the only album in the series that is draped in fabric.

The albums take up to 8 hours to embroider and can contain over 200,000 stitches. The series is created and designed to be hung together so you can add to your installation wall as you discover new pieces I create. Each of the albums comes with a signed certificate and is framed in acrylic and measures 12" x 12" x 2".
