Embroidered Necklace - Trans Flag Row of Roses
This is another of my pride flag series: the trans flag! I did these with little light blue, pale ballerina pink, and white embroidered roses to represent the colors of the trans flag.
This little row of roses is on black cotton, set into a 1” wooden embroidery hoop pendant, and hangs from a 26.5” silver chain.
Everything in life is connected—our experiences, memories, interactions, acquaintances, friendships, emotions make up a series of threads, all interlocking and weaving together to form what we call our sense of self, our identity. Athena, Goddess of War, Wisdom, and Crafts, even punished Arachne for daring to challenge her weaving abilities, and in this way, I believe that Athena embodies that connection of creation, battle, and learning that transforms into wisdom.
While everything I embroider represents a glimpse of my own experiences, as a reflection of the world around me and reflection of you, everything I make is a way that we connect ourselves to each other, learning from our mistakes, weaving strength in our identities, the things that we’ve destroyed, that have destroyed our past selves, and created something new.
Embroidery is my personal tribute to Athena, for the blessings and lessons that I’ve received and want to share, the strength I continue to gain as I war with my own limiting beliefs, and a way that I want to remind you that you are ever growing and shaping into a more beautiful and stronger version of you every day.
