Working on my biggest embroidery yet for my upcoming exhibition 'Lichenform' in May.

Hello! I’m Denise, and I create designs and teach classes under my business name, Romantic Recollections.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I learned to crochet when I was 3 and have worked on textile-related crafts ever since. As a child, I collected fashion paper dolls and read books like Anne of Green Gables, so it’s no surprise I spent a lot of time daydreaming about puffed sleeves and ball gowns. Eventually that led to the world of historical costuming and on to an Apparel Design degree before starting my business. I’ve dabbled in making just about everything related to historic fashions - dresses, millinery, and underpinnings, as well as embroidery, laces, and trims. I haven’t made it down to shoes yet, but there is still time!

Six months later and I can finally take the last steps to finish this very special project. Means: More pearls, more glitter, more thoughts and more spells sewed - stitch by stitch - into this piece of textile art.

Sechs Monate später - und ich kann endlich die letzten Handgriffe angehen, um dieses Herzensprojekt zu beenden. Meint: Mehr Perlen, mehr Glitzer, mehr Gedanken und mehr Bannsprüche, die ich mit jedem Stich in diesem Stück Textilkunst vernähe.

Apropos: Ihr wollt was gegen den wieder erwachsenden Faschismus tun? Dann unterschreibt doch bitte noch diese Petition gegen ein Register von trans und nonbinary Personen. Danke.
