Everyone is familiar when it comes to embroidery. China has the the reputation of "the silk country" since the ancient times. Once the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze river is inseparable from the stitches of the embroiderers.

Differing from the sense of history and generosity that Chinese embroidery brings, Tessa Perlow, living in New Jersey, integrated her dream to embroidery, which is like to write a fairy tale on cotton and denim fabrics.

Large flowers, fierce beasts, strange animals, wide-eyed, unintelligible mix all appear to the her work. Bold colors and flowery patterns are a kind of inheritance of the wahaka culture in Mexico and a modern creation full of wild forces.

Tessa has a creative mother who is skilled at sewing and often takes her and her two sisters together to do the handwork. Tessa was influenced by her mother from an early age and fell in love with sewing. In high school, she began to try to make her own clothes, different fabrics, casual imagination.

Tessa's works are mostly bright and colorful, and the embroidery is full of absurd imagination. Life experiences and artistic preferences have created her unique aesthetic. The eccentric grandmother, summer night's nightmare, the art movement of the 1960s blended in her memory and further inspired her creative inspiration.

Decoration

Tessa is one of the architects of the revival of the art of embroidery and an advocate of environmental economics. Sometimes she makes use of second-hand clothing. But she transforms them first by cutting the edge, which all depends on her eyes and preference.

Next, she would think what kind of embroidery would be appropriate for this dress. Often the clothes themselves give her inspiration. Different colors, textures and styles of embroidery styles are different. After designing the pattern, draw the picture on the clothes. This process is as simple as possible, so as to avoid accidents like ink dripping on your clothes or breaking your clothes.

The most important link is of course embroidery. Tessa is fixed to the pattern with her hands, a little silk overlay. Although there are simple patterns, the actual embroidery process is more like an accidental madness.
