"Northwest Autumn Breezes"

Congratulations to Heidi Lund for her 1st place win in the Sulky 2001 Professional Wearables category. We are especially pleased she chose our Jakarta pattern for her entry!

 


Read more about Heidi's techniques below!
 

This jacket is made of Kona Black Pimatex cotton that has been painted with Lumiere acrylics in metallic copper, gold, umber, silver and green. The fabric has been heat set as well as machine washed and dried. The entire jacket is embellished with over 7750 yards of Sulky Thread in some form or other. Heidi specifically used lots of 30wt Rayon and 2 different Ultra twists for dimension. There is a hint of Sulky Sliver running through the design to catches your eye. The jacket pieces were stabilized with Sulky KK2000 Temporary Spray Adhesive, Totally Stable and Tear Easy.

 

If you look close at the embellishments, you will find Sulky Sliver in the hand carded wool and mohair felted leaves. This jacket also features hand dyed silk ribbon, chenille, metallic fibers, ultra suede leaves and beads. Sulky Solvy was used to create the 3-D metallic leaves that are embellished with Sulky black rayon and beads.
 

Heidi's jacket is lined with Hang Loose Anti-Static polyester which has been stamped with leaves.

Heidi does commission wearables from her Pacific Northwest studio.
