Palm Portraits
Much inspired by the beautiful work of Meridith Mcneal, a a little bit obsessed with the relationship between clothing and identity, I decided to make a 'palm portrait'.
Mcneal uses vintage gloves of sheer fabric, and uses embroidery and beading to make copy the palm lines of her friends (a 'palm portrait' as she calls it). I found some old gloves in my dressing up box and traced the lines on my palm onto the glove, before embroidering - a little messily- my palm lines. The end result is actually pretty cool, and makes a witty addition to the otherwise princessy evening glove. I'm totally going to wear these to my first ball.
