I also purchased a young boys tshirt from penneys. Penneys is known for using sweatshops to produce their clothing, regardless of what they say. I stitched an image of handcuffs onto the front of the boys shirt. I did it in a way that from a distance it looks like a smiley face but you then realise that they are shackles.

Stitching
I have started stitching into paper and other materials as I am currently researching sweatshops where hand stitched garments are the goods which are being produced as a result of modern day slavery. I'm really enjoying this process and think that the results are turning out good. I am hoping to stitch into silk screen prints next week as I have had technical difficulties this week and only have one layer of ink down. Im also stitching into drawings and using stitching as a method of drawing itself. Im currently stitching a lot of hands as I am still looking into hands as a body part and tool of labour and many case studies state that hands become very damaged from stitching all day long as they do in the sweatshops.
