Caviar Crackle Artwork
Toward the end of last year the Mayor of Associated Minds record label got in touch with me with regard to stitching up a sublime gold storm for the new Metabeats album Caviar Crackle.
The design was put together by Matt Joyce aka themeekshall with the Mayor and Metabeats and then handed over to me to embroider in gold thread. After creating a few test pieces on a variety of black fabrics we settled on a black velvet ground and I used some Madeira metallic thread for the type. I found that these threads were a little less prone to fraying and splitting than the DMC metallic threads that I’ve used in the past and they gave a less of a ‘crafty’ finish.
The tasty little video above was produced by Huw Caddy and the photograph for the album cover and iTunes artwork was captured by Alex Mills. It’s great to see the work expertly framed and finished and rather exciting to see my stitches in the iTunes store.
You can download the Caviar Crackle LP from the iTunes store here along with a little thumbnail copy of my stitches.
