Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin

Embroidery stitched directly through a vinyl record sleeve. 

12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.

This is an iconic first album cover from an iconic band, the album cover features a picture of the Hindenburg airship exploding. I wanted to create something dramatic for this album so I stitched the whole album cover in concentric rings of yarn for the base. All of the fine details were then embroidered on top of the yarn with wool thread. I love how the spirals of yarn mimic the grooves of the actual record, I like it so much Ive used it on a few other albums.
