Suture Shirt

So I started working a project about my stitches and how much I miss them since I've had them removed. I took one of my shirts and used Naomi's wood burner to burn a hole in the back right where my mole was. The burn mark ended up looking really similar to my mole... weird!


I did the burning on top of a rock as not to damage my table top.
I love the resulting burn mark on the rock, especially since its right on top of the scar-like mark.
After I burned the shirt, I cut out the burned area.
Scab window!
Then I stitched my shirt back up with acrylic coated embroidery floss.
Now I have a shirt with stitches in it. That way, if I am missing my stitches, I can put the shirt on and they're back again!
