Embroidered myths

I love it when artistes use crafts in their work, the confrontation they provoke between the traditional techniques and the modernity of their ideas.
Brie Ruais is an artiste who lives in New York and uses traditional crafts such as embroidery, bid work and knitting in her art. Brie draws her inspirations from her own personal biography as well as from urbane myths and legends.

Paula Sanz Caballero

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I am very into embroidery lately.
That is why I wanted to share with you these images created by the Spanish artist Paula Sanz Caballero. Paula creates images of high society figures with various techniques that combine hand embroidery, quilting and layouts.
Looking at the details of her works can be extremely fascinating since each detail is made from different fabrics that are attaches by tiny stitches, forming altogether a simply beautiful picture…
Her works appeared in magazines like Vogue, Marie Claire and Elle.

The bow belt

First of all, we wanted to thank Florrie from Intrinsically Florrie for nominating our blog for Honest Scrap Award- Thanks Florrie!

A couple of weeks ago, the very talented Hilla Harel wrote about my designs on “Rating” magazine.

The belt and the necklace are made of hand embroidered leather; I am very into embroidery lately.

When I buy a new piece of clothing or an accessory- or as in this case, when I design it myself- I am very exited to try it on with different clothes I have, to create new looks with the new piece. Here are two looks with the belt; the first one is a day time “secretary look" and the second is more of an evening “going out look".
