Description

I worked on a printmaking project and decided to mold a pair of my dad’s work boots. I made my own paper pulp and then made sheets and cast molded them and hand stitched them with embroidery threads.

Material Notes

Cotton rag paper ( I used recycled drawings), cast molding, & embroidery thread
