Be the Stitch that holds someone together with Organ and Tissue Donation

10"x 10"

Embroidery thread

For this project I wanted my slogan to be unique and original as many people had already created their poster and chosen their slogan. I created my slogan in relation to the stitches that it would take to receive an organ or tissue donation. I knew that I wanted my medium to connect to the slogan I had made and immediately I thought of doing embroidery. This would both relate to my slogan and be unique among the other projects. I started by tracing out all the letters of each word using a template from school. It was harder than I expected to fit all the letters on the fabric while leaving space for the heart. I came up with the idea to color the words "organ" and "tissue" in red and then the word "stitch" in blue in order to make them stand out as they are the most important words to this piece. After finishing all the lettering, I started on the heart at the bottom of the fabric that ties the slogan to a picture. I am ver proud of this project as I have put a lot of hard work into this and is the project that I have invested the most hours in so far in my art career.
