Sewing A-Z

A is for… ART!

Today I’d like to share some wonderful art pieces that I think you’ll enjoy.

They are all stitch related in some way and I find them extraordinary, witty and beautiful. I hope you do too!

Finally I shared these beauties two years ago but can’t resist including them again.

Karen Nicol’s animal portraits amaze me.
Words cannot properly explain what she does given the variety of techniques used. Her Monkey portraits are my favourites. You must check her out and her new pieces including this amazing bull.
