A gold-top electric guitar, stitched full-scale across the front panel. It's slung at an angle, with the neck running clean over the handle and out to the far edge. The body is worked in shimmering gold thread with a black pickguard, silver pickups, and cream knobs. The fretboard is stitched in deep rosewood brown, and the pearl inlays catch the light all the way up. It's the guitar that's played every bar on the circuit and still looks better than you do at 2 a.m.
Above it, a black and white banner reads Night Shift. Some people work nine to five. Some people work nine to close.
Around it, the stuff that collects on a gig bag:
A pair of cherries in red and gold, for something sweet between sets
A white route shield reading WT 28227, a nod to home, stitched in our Charlotte studio
A cream tag reading 13 LUCKY in bold red
A red rock-on hand, horns up
A rainbow lightning bolt, for the encore
The details
One of One: this arrangement will not be stitched again
Medium canvas tote in dove grey canvas with navy trim and reinforced handles
Seven original embroidered pieces, hand-placed and stitched down in our Charlotte studio
