“Final Judgment”
Description
“Final Judgment”
We are everything,
We are timeless beating hearts,
children of a fraction of time.
For the last untouched flower, for the last not given kiss,
I’m gonna rip out my heart at the “Final Judgment,”
and my dreams will be dripping through my fingers,
as last regret.

Techniques
- I’m a self-taught, I think about what I would like to accomplish, and by combining different materials, giving them structure and shape with ornaments, I realize a finished hat with the only technique of hand sewing. The mind creates, hands sew.
- As a base form, I use a real size head.
- All the fabrics I use, are cut and hand-sewn by me, to shape them into flowers and to line hands and heart.
- Enamelled by hand.
