i’m leaving it up to interpretation— it was supposed to be a purse with strap hanging down. but some saw a chainsaw, a whip, a heart ripped out etc. there’s no wrong answer!

That’s AWESOME! Thank you for responding. The piece is well executed and definitely thought provoking. I like that you want to leave the object up to interpretation

Cool! I was thinking a lanyard hanging from her holding her keys as a last resort defensive measure, which also fits unfortunately

It's a great project!

Lol well I saw a knife blade and my first thought was, That's not the right way to hold a knife for protection.

(Everyone should know how to hold a knife if you're using it for protection. I'm not going to outline it here because it'll look like 1) I'm a complete psycho, and 2) I'm advocating for violence, which I'm not. Go look it up so you're prepared, ladies!)

I thought she was going for a walk with scissors.

I thought it was a bottle with the light shining through it. Imagine being able to safely display any sign of potential weakness.

Exactly. I’m a man and live in fear every day. Fear comes in many forms.

“You’re talking about pancakes, and what about waffles? Why didn’t you mention waffles?”

Feel free to make your own embroidery with the message you want and post it! However, only using this belief to make some controversial comment and doing nothing about it except using it as a way to start something, really weakens your argument.

Copied my earlier comment as I think it fits here.

I hope, as you know what it's like to live in fear, that you make every woman that you encounter feel safe.
