This one is all cut out now, and I am so excited about this piece that I am going to sew it up, cause I want to know how its going to look once its all sewn up. I am going to be satin stitching the edges in matching colours, for the most part. But also, I want to use some of the stitching as accents, in places I think. And look at those pink flamingos. It totally finishes the piece. I am undecided if I want to add things to the shop windows. If you are interested in this piece you can email me [email protected] . Iko Iko is houses in an Edwardian building on Cuba st, in Wellington. Cuba street is a colourful off beat place where all the artists and hippies and a few hipsters hang out drink coffee, eat good food and buy interesting gifts. this building was built in the early 1900's along with several other Edwardian buildings that gives Cuba Street its colourful character. It was originally designed by a well know architect, John Swan. it has been occupied by a confectioner, a fruiter, a jeweller, and for the longest time a series of butchers until in 1998 it became the now iconic Iko Iko store where wellington goes to get off beat and fun gifts for their friends. . [Image description. as mentioned on the left is the fabric piece, that is still a work in progress. It is a blue two-story Edwardian building, that has fancy columns surround the upper story sash windows. There are three upper story windows and a shop front in the lower story. There are details of a building in the top windows, that looks like a reflection. The Edwardian column and details are now in place waiting for stitching accents, and there is two lawn pink flamingos in pots by the shop entrance, that look just lovely. I am still deciding about shop window dressing but am to egger to begin sewing it together, which is going to be very challenging. ] . #ikoiko #cubastreet #cubadistrict #wellington #aotearoa #newZealand #fineart #textileart #newzealandartist #magiconcuba #cityscape #architectal#pollylindartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRc7KAH0gC/?igshid=12gl69e5mcyi1
