You’ll know how I found Francine Leclercq’s work, click tree embroidery. Ajouré is hemstitched in English.

Tamar Tsouk is a textile artist living in Haifa, Israel. “Embroidery has been both a passion and a necessity in my life. It has accompanied me for the last three decades. At every work, I am again challenged to make the right colour combinations and to select the right hues. Nature, seasons and landscapes have been the inspiration for my works.”

Ball hand

Backstage at Balmain

Balmain. That's the name I remember after a search for haute couture embroidery. Pierre Balmain. He described the art of dressmaking as "the architecture of movement".

Cloth moth

Armyworm moth

A moth is an insect related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Most of this order are moths. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth (nearly 10 times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are crepuscular and diurnal species.

Made of cotton, fake fur, fabric paint, embroidery thread, wire, absolutely fascinating textile moths by Yumi Okita.

Both new

Crafted from both new and reused materials, all birds here are hand sewn by Abigail Brown in her studio in London, England.

Each piece is created with love and attention to detail.

Abigail Brown spent large amounts of time as a child in the company of her grandma, in a house strewn with loose threads and scraps of fabric.

There is nothing more natural to her than to work with fabric, using it to give life to the little creatures that form in her mind. Continuing to work in this way, she feels forever connected to her childhood and the wonderful days she spent with her grandma.
