Embroidery artists often turn to nature when looking for inspiration for their work, but Beth Carroll is doing it in a way no one else does. She’s making magical tulle embroidery creations that you’ll really appreciate if you happen to be a huge bird lover.
Carroll is an Australian fiber artist, currently based in Offaly, Ireland, and she sees birds as her main source of inspiration. On her official website, she claims that she developed a unique niche for thread-painted birds on tulle and says she specializes in creating “the magical illusions that these birds will fly out of the hoop and into your home.”
With tulle, she manages to create this amazing effect, making it easy for her birds to blend into the background and seem life-like, especially when surrounded by nature. She often takes photos of her embroidery art outside, making it look even more realistic.
Carroll’s Instagram posts are quite educational, as well, since she always makes sure to share the names of the species she used as a subject. She uses behind-the-scenes progress behind each creation with her fans on Patreon, in addition to selling her work on Etsy and her official website, where she has a waitlist for commissions.
