Silkscreen update

I’m finally at a point where I feel like I’ll be satisfied with these silkscreened images. They’re printed onto silk organza with thickened dyes, then two layers are stitched together in the center to form a window where the ‘passport’ photos will go.

I figured I’ll need about 300 of these…and that thought makes me a little insane. They’ll be hand-stitched to the top layer of the kimono, giving it even a bit more depth and body to help it hold up to the Kevlar®.

Even though the images are silkscreened, the combination of the two layers will make each ‘collage’ unique, representative of everyone’s differing situations when they make the decision about whether or not to carry a pregnancy to full term.
