Ziggy Goes to America: An Embroidery of Two Davids

Aladdin Sane Era Bowie

Embroidery

via Sister Twisty

Great example of embroidery by blogger, Sister Twister; a self-proclaimed lover "of crafting, cats, shiny things and biscuits." She and I have a lot in common only my loves are crafting, ghoulish things and cupcakes.

I foolishly know very little Bowie Lore and was confused by Ziggy Stardust Era Bowie with Aladdin Sane Era Bowie, but a simple trip to wiki cleared that right up. Apparently, to make a long story short, Bowie referred to Aladdin Sane as "Ziggy Goes to America."

Here is the inspiration behind Sister Twisty's Bowie:

.....and just for fun, here he is in cat form (also by Sister Twisty):

Even further, here's my favorite Bowie:

David Bowie as Goblin King Jareth

But I'll save that for another post :)
