I hand-selected each album then set out to embroider them. To make the art, each thread must be hand-digitized using digital drawing tools on a scan of the actual album as a backdrop. Every stitch is drawn by hand, one at a time. The embroidery process itself is the most interesting and has to be seen to believe.

Embroidery stitched directly through a vinyl record sleeve.
12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.
I’ve always been crazy was released in 1978, at the end of Waylon's outlaw country phase and also at the end of his self proclaimed monstrous cocaine addiction. The album still has quite a bit of an outlaw tone with a number of hits and spent a year on the charts. The album features a red tinted black and white image of Waylon with his signature across the top. I used a few different techniques on the album. Waylon himself was stitched with multiple shades of, red, pink, tan, black and white in hand digitized wool thread. I then superimposed his logo across the black background and stitched it in black yarn. The step and repeat of the logo in yarn creates a visual interest in the stark background. His signature was stitched using red yarn for texture as well.
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".
