Preloved to Reloved - Type Construction

A project in my typography class is to experiment with type. With many of my more recent school projects I have decided to include an element of sustainability and this project is no different.

I chose the words "preloved" and "reloved" as I have used them to describe my products made with awesome materials that were originally wanted but nearly ended up in the trash. I want to create a more labor intensive deliverable to push the idea as a "labor of love" project and chose the final pieces to be embroidered.

Each letter will be handdrawn and transcribed with thread.

Here is my process:

v1

v2

v3

v4

All materials used were purchased "preloved" at ScrapPDX. 

• Sewing needles
• Needle thread
• Scissors
• Hoop
• Thread
• Material

I had no previous experience with embroidery
