The post Youmeng Liu’s Embroidery Foods Look So Real That You’ll Want to Taste Them appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Liu has a MA in Fashion Artifact from the London College of Fashion, and her passion for embroidery started blooming during a trip to Dali, China, a decade ago. She fell in love with punch needle embroidery during this journey and recently embarked on a quest to produce 301 embroidered artworks of common edible food items.
Liu developed her own technique of 3D punch needle embroidery, using her skills for hand embroidery and scissors sculpting to make her artworks truly pop. It’s a time-consuming process because her creations feature a lot of intricate details and can take weeks to finish, but she’s enjoying every second of her creative journey.
“I enjoyed the process to sculpt the embroidery with my scissors, with different angles and depths of each cut giving different textures. The most enjoyable part is when I touch the texture of a finished piece which gives me a pleasant and comfortable feeling,” she told The Sun.

]]>Simpson had an interest in embroidery since a young age but only picked it up as a hobby in 2017. She started with simple cross-stitching that used patterns and quickly developed her own realistic style of embroidery.
According to the artist, she doesn’t use patterns, kits, or tutorials. Instead, she directly observes the subjects of her works, mostly decorative glasses, bottles, and decanters. The process is demanding and long, with some more elaborate pieces taking around 200 hours to be completed.
“It’s a slow process, and as a person who isn’t naturally patient, it’s a real endurance test for me,” Simpson told Colossal in a recent chat. “I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a piece.”
Simpson showcases her creations on her social media under the name Peacocks and Pinecones. She reveals she doesn’t offer tutorials or patterns for her works, but most of her pieces are available for sale. Continue scrolling to see more of this amazing photorealistic embroidery below.

]]>Currie is based in New Brunswick, Canada, where she works as a government environmental project officer. She enjoys doing embroidery in her free time, and she’s sharing her stunning textile creations with thousands of followers on her Instagram page, Satellite Stitches.
Currie’s love for embroidery is only matched by her obsessions with satellite imagery and maps. She finds their patterns and colors stunning, especially the ones capturing movement patterns of biological processes.
Currie usually uses Kona cotton as a canvas for her embroidery hoops, which recreate images shared by NASA’s Ocean Biology Processing Group. Most of them are inspired by the ocean, capturing its beautiful swirling waters in a brand-new light.
“I love the ocean. I grew up on the east coast of Canada and going to the beach was one of my favorite things to do… I hope that others can see what I see and can come to realize how special and incredibly important oceans are,” the artist told The National News.

]]>Haynes opened Lemon Pepper Studio in 2017, but it took some time before she discovered embroidery was her true calling. She previously studied performance design at the University of Leeds, and her background as a set designer significantly influenced her approach to embroidery.
“I’ve always thought of my pieces as miniature worlds, like Alice in Wonderland. I imagine a tiny Alice running around amongst the embroidered flowers and it becomes just like a (much) smaller version of building a set,” she told Hobbies and Crafts.
Another thing that she carried over from her past creative projects was her love for 3D artwork. Even when she was younger, her work was never flat and she was intrigued by the idea of tricking people into thinking something was real when it isn’t.
Haynes’ creations often take the shape of plants and flowers, and that’s not a coincidence either. Her art truly started blooming when she moved to the countryside, and she’s now fully dedicated to preserving the beauty of nature through the medium of thread.

]]>What sets Lamb apart from countless other artists out there who enjoy celebrating the animal world through their work? Pets in her portraits have a human quality to them—largely thanks to the vintage Victorian clothing they’re wearing in each of Lamb’s creations.
If you’re wondering why she decided to “dress them up” this way, it turns out it all started with her own cat Athena. This was the first embroidery pet portrait to come out of Lamb’s little workshop, and since her kitty reminded her of an old lady, she decided it would look adorable if she wore a tiny hat and purple outfit, paired with some forget-me-nots.
This portrait was such a huge hit that she decided to receive commissions, creating similar embroidery art for her followers. After receiving a photo of a pet, she comes up with a costume herself, mostly drawing inspiration from the interesting stories that the owner shared about their beloved furry companion.

]]>Rebordação is the brainchild of Karla and Fabricio, a Brazilian couple currently residing in Lisbon, Portugal. The name of their brand is a fun play on words, and it’s a mix between recordação (remembrance) and bordado (embroidery).
Since starting their Instagram page, the creative duo attracted almost 30,000 followers, and it’s not difficult to see why. Their art doesn’t play by the rules and presents this old-fashioned art form in a modern, funny, and no-filter way, which is a rarity in the embroidery world.
“Our idea for the Instagram account came when we observed other embroidery pages. We decided to start an Instagram account after seeing so many embroidery accounts with no humor, just flowers and what one would call ‘grandmother’ stuff,” the duo told Bored Panda.
Karla and Fabricio usually find inspiration in the daily life dramas that they’re living through, but they’re also heavily influenced by some Brazilian cartoonists. It takes them between three to six hours to finish each work, and the final result is always amazing, offering biting social commentary.

]]>She has a full-time job in digital media and spends a lot of time in front of a computer. She explains that embroidery is a “wonderful way for her to creatively play with color, texture, and pattern.”
She has gained over 50,000 Instagram followers and teaches other people her passion with her embroidery kits, patterns, and virtual workshops. She moved from the desert and now lives in the Pacific Northwest, but in her heart, she is still a “desert girl” who likes embroidering “warm landscapes full of prickly cacti and plants.”
She starts her process with a doodling book and a sketch, and then she picks the fabric and thread. She especially likes using vintage fabric.
“I always lay my design out flat so I can see the fabric and thread colors together. This helps me see how everything flows together,” Galbraith explained in an interview for Embellished Talk.

]]>Such is the case with master embroiderer Danielle Clough. With some 190,000 followers on Instagram, Clough’s passion for needle and thread is evident.
“I’d always loved fabric,” she gushed in an interview with Colossal, relaying how she was introduced to sewing early on in life.
“My mom used to sew, and she used to make me clothes,” she recalled. “I always thought I was going to be this amazing fashion designer. I was so sure, and I would make these really horrible jackets out of old curtains. I’d make a jacket that you couldn’t put your arms down, but I’d still wear it proudly. I’d always loved fashion.”
These days, her sense for color and style comes across her work. Colorful to the max, her embroideries stand out for their unique backdrops and subject choices.
“I love just making stuff that feels fun, feels light, feels colorful, and that evokes some kind of memories,” says Clough. “I love pop culture references, and there’s a lot of connection that comes from that.”
Amongst her portrait subjects, for instance, you can find pop icons like Biggie Smalls and Bob Ross with nods to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and even Furby.
Based in South Africa, Clough also teaches embroidery, online and in person. “My role hopefully will be in expanding that idea that embroidery is considered women’s work now,” she says.

]]>The post The Beautiful, Intuitive Embroidery of Michelle Kingdom appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>In her work, symbolism and allegory lay bare dynamics of aspiration and limitation, expectation and loss, belonging and alienation, truth, and illusion. “My approach to the work is intuitive and there is an ongoing,” she explained her creative process in an interview with Textile Artist, “in organic technical dialogue throughout the process. While honoring the richness of tradition, I also try to refresh and bring renewed relevance to the medium.”
Indeed, using the thread as a sketching tool, Kingdom simultaneously honors and undermines the tradition of embroidery, elevating it from its traditional and often over-looked history.
Her work process was learned through trial and error, with her initial interest in textiles beginning while in college in the early ’90s, when I was studying fine art. “Back then the art scene felt like an exclusive, closed world,” she recalls. “Serious work was oversized, relentlessly ironic, coldly conceptual and impossibly clever. I never imagined there would be any place there for me.”
At the same time, growing up in a sewing family, she was drawn to art but also the world of textiles, which she experimented with on my own. And so, she began “drawing with thread”, so to speak, teaching herself embroidery as a way to pursue both passions and as a reaction to art that didn’t speak to her. Nowadays, her artwork is anything but overlooked. Scroll down, to see some of her most recent needlework.

]]>The post This Embroidery Artist Isn’t Afraid of Making a Mess appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>A graduate of the Royal School of Needlework (FDA Hand Embroidery 2013) and Falmouth University (BA Contemporary Crafts 2014), Newton now teaches embroidery workshops where she passes her knowledge onward. “My goldwork embroidery workshops are a balance of technique and experimentation,” she writes on her website, explaining that she likes to leave plenty of breathing space for students to find their own response to the historical techniques of goldwork.
According to Newton, embroidery, as with all art, should be about following your passion, not just following the rules. Her playful approach is very much the result of her open-minded upbringing. “As kids, we were always encouraged to be creative, in quite a freeway,” she recalled in an interview with Textile Artist. “Creating a mess whilst playing wasn’t particularly a problem for my parents. I think this gave us quite a lot of freedom to create and imagine.”
“Goldwork is an area of embroidery which is sometimes perceived to be somewhat traditional and has many rules,” she notes. “To me, a rule of how something must be worked was at some point a new invention itself, and that excites me and keeps me inspired to explore what metal threads can do, without worrying if I am doing it ‘right’”.
Follow her lead.
