Travel inspires me. I can go to a place, take it all in and feel a vibe. Then I bring ideas home and make something that reminds me of my trip. This time, with the artistic help of embroidery designs by an Austin artist, Sublime Stitching, I was able to recreate a day spent in Austin, Texas on South Congress Avenue (SoCo). From the hip strip of eclectic shops with Dia De Los Muertos art, western flair at Allens Boots, reconstructed rockabilly clothing boutiques to the largest urban (Mexican free-tailed) bat colony that departs nightly from under the SoCo bridge.
This hand embroidered western shirt captures it all.
