Here’s our 11th submission, from Elissa Marie Pyles. She did a two-part piece. Apologies for the crappy formatting on the post, but the two parts just look so freaking cool next to each other. I’ll leave the description up to Elissa, as she wrote it in her e-mail to me. She describes this gorgeous piece much better than I ever could. She sent another picture that shows the detail of the piece up close. Check it out after the jump.

Hah! Just in time for Valentine’s day weekend. I honestly did not plan the theme around the timing–pure coincidence.
It’s a two-sided piece.
title (I hate titling work, and debated whether or not to title it at all…): xoxo
medium: 1940s typewriter, embroidery thread and vintage calligraphy ink–all materials once used to express love and devotion in much more eloquent ways than modern technology. It’s something of an ode to love letters, a forgotten art.

Awesome! Thanks, Elissa!
