The label shows a map of the Cape Canaveral area, including Kennedy Space Center. Vest Front I did take some artistic license with the Space Shuttle, but attempted to represent the orbiter Discovery, the huge rust-colored external tank, and a segmented white solid rocket booster. External tank grooves and ridges were modeled with double-needle pintucks. The woodpeckers are done with a rubber stamp and acrylic paint. Clouds were scrunched from rows of gray fabrics.
Curling vapors are machine quilted against the sky.
The edge snaps were mail-ordered from Clotilde . On the left front, another woodpecker surveys a circuit board from his perch atop an Inertial Measurement Unit near some gyroscope components. These were transferred to fabric using heat transfer paper for Ink Jet Printers from Dharma Trading . More double-needle pintucks on the edge of the table. You can see a lightning storm through the window.
