《重修旧好》00003-Thumbelina 拇指姑娘

Thumbelina, a story on never giving up easily, no matter how tiny your dreams are.

《拇指姑娘》一个永不放弃的故事，再渺小的事物，也值得被珍惜。

While creating the 4th artwork for Second Life Greater Life, I envisioned the potential of combining Thumbelina x roaster rice bowl x plastic weaving armchair. How can these 3 irrelevant items gel as one?

就在制作第四件《重修旧好》的作品时，我看见了《拇指姑娘》和公鸡碗的可能性。这一次能不能结合《拇指姑娘》x 公鸡碗 x 塑料编织手扶椅（在草根的椅子）呢？

 

 

Converting illustration to “米” stitch

米: means rice in Mandrian

把插画变成“米”字绣的图案

Beige Linen Top as the canvas

米色上衣

DMVC thread (70% - a gift from Irene | 30% self-bought)

DMC线 (70% Irene 送 | 30%自己买）

Here begins the day-and-night embroidery work, after installing white light bulbs

换了白色灯泡，开始日夜的刺绣工作

To unify the idea of a roaster rice bowl, I secretly tweaked traditional cross-stitches into 米-stitches 

为了迎合吃米饭用的公鸡碗主题，偷偷把传统的十字绣，换成了米字绣

Plastic weaved armchair patterns were sewn on the sleeve, and they appear only with a fold

把塑料编织手扶椅的图案绣在衣袖里面，把袖子折上就可以找到它

The ending of the Thumbelina story - a swallow which ferried Thumbelina to her fairy prince

上衣的背面，有故事将结尾时，把拇指姑娘送到王子身边的燕子

当然也不能少了等待已久的王子，让你猜猜他躲在哪？

Can you guess where the fairy prince is hiding?
