Fred's Head

I posted some time ago about Derya Golpinar's embroidery floss rendering of Thomas from Mother, Come Home, (below) and I'd feel remiss if I didn't post about one of her latest, which I love. I'm not sure who Fred is, but he's a well stitched fellow. Be sure to visit Fred and Derya's other notes and oddities on her blog.

Embroidery Floss Thomas

When Derya Golpinar sent me this (first via e-mail, then through physical mail), I was astonished by how good it was, as this is the sort of thing that would have taken me weeks and would have ended up looking less like Thomas wearing a lion mask than Thomas wearing a lion mask after being subjected to a mutating heat ray. It's too good to not share. Thanks, Derya.

(Derya works for the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, which has some really engaging web comics on New York immigrants.)
