10 Collections: Stitch Mark

Embroidered patches are small, stitched badges or marks that can symbolize any number of things in what is a relatively small size. These small works of craftsmanship display vivid emotions, ideas, and interests and can be used to turn an everyday item into something entirely unique and 1-of-1. Patches allow for expression and symbolism through beautiful stitched designs.

The font used is Franklin Gothic Demi Cond

The pantone colors used are Pantone 709 c, Pantone 1555 c, and Pantone 643 c

Collection Title

Stitch Marks

A collection of embroidered patches

My collection will be called Stitch Marks because for one, patches can be described as distinguishing marks and are stitched. I also like this title because of the connection with medical stitch marks and the idea that just like those stitch marks, a stitched patch you wear is a part of you and makes you different and unique.

It will be located at the Perez Art Museum in Miami
 1103 Biscayne Blvd

10 Collections Research: Patches

     Patches show delicate craftsmanship and thought out elements of design in what are often small pieces of embroidered fabric. The variety of colors and designs display different styles and ideas in something that can fit in your hand. They can mean anything from symbolizing a successful space flight in things like mission patches to sports teams through embroidered logos. They are incredibly expressive pieces of art that can mean as much or as little as you want.

   

  From denim jackets to backpacks, embroidered patches can be put or placed anywhere for the wearer to be able to express themselves in a small way. They can say something as simple as “I like this picture” to something more complex like a way of life or a piece of life advice. Patches have an endless amount of possibilities in what they express, what they depict, and the emotions they convey to others.

     The patches in this collection were collected by me from 2014 to present. Some are from only a few years ago while others like the Russian mission patch are from upwards of 30 years ago. Each of the patches in this collection symbolize and promote something different and have key differences in their look and style to help show this whether it be the colors used, the wording, or the placement of certain imagery.
