It's my "Whaam" jumper based on a piece of pop art by Roy Lichtenstein. (For more information and to see images of the original painting try www.lichtensteinfoundation.org) The picture above is the back. The front shows the plane cockpit and nose
and on the sleeve are the words "I pressed the fire control and ahead of me rockets blazed through the sky ..."
I can even remember I used Pinqouin cotton (which hasn't been available in the UK for years and years) and it took a long long time but I loved every minute, and to be honest I had forgotten how much I enjoyed colour work, painting with the stitches. I miss it and must try to incorporate into my work again.
anyway, for now, feeling very nostalgic,
Ruby xx
