Leo
July 23 - August 22
Leos are known to be charismatic, self-centered, confident, theatrical, dazzling, extravagant, and (obviously) performers.
Even if you're not super into astrology, there's something undeniably fascinating about reading a horoscope. The Zodiac collection is a series of 12 satirical poems written for each astrological sign. I hope that stitching these canvases is a playful, self-reflective, and meditative exercise.
WHY I LOVE IT
The words. The poems were written in collaboration with an up-and-coming writer, Isabelle Conner. Each word was chosen to highlight the typical traits of each sign. They often have double (or triple) meanings **IYKYK** that are designed to keep you thinking while stitching.
The colors. The color palettes was chosen to represent the key nature of each sign. You'll notice that all of the fire signs are alit with a touch of red, while the earth signs are more grounded in greens and browns. I fully expect all the Aquariuses out there to make off-beat color swaps :)
The typography. Each lettering style was hand-drawn to reflect the zodiac characteristics. The Pisces lettering is floaty, while the Capricorn text is all-business. The Libra lettering is over-the-top romantic, while Scorpio looks like it’s about to cast a spell. You get the picture.
