Stitching on Social | May

May was a month of new discoveries for us as we found more amazing new textile artists on social media and spent many hours admiring their work. Here are just a few of the talented people we discovered:

@kimkaranikolaou_fibreartist: Kim Karanikolaou makes portraits of your beloved pets, however she adds an extra bit of realism to her exquisite pieces by including your pet’s own hair!

@nonakeddenim: This clever lady from the USA creates embroidered works of art out of Converse sneakers. They’re just stunning.

@eventide_embroidery: Aimee Estcourt uses a fascinating combination of stitches and colours to create her unique, beautiful works of embroidered art.

@jolly_hoops: Sila Gur produces ‘fashion inspired threadpainting’. Whatever inspires it, this is threadpainting to take your breath away.

If you ever come across an artist you’d like us to include in this segment, write in and tell us! In the meantime you can also follow Inspirations on on Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest where you’ll discover fantastic needlework every day from all over the web.
