Additionally, the artist takes an Impressionistic approach with her brilliant hoop art. By working together, both Glagoleva and Smirnova demonstrate that art doesn't have to be stationary, that it can indeed be worn on-the-go. This project, called Artist At Home, aimed to converge two worlds: the painter's home and her studio, or her closet and her artwork. Spending a maximum of 100 hours on every garment, Smirnova hand-embroidered bursts of color onto the fabric, telling a story with her work.

In collaboration with fashion designer Olya Glagoleva, artist Lisa Smirnova transformed a collection of clothes into a series of art. Woulnough's delicately knotted threads form complex veined systems which she then pins into shadow boxes, strengthening the resemblance to elegantly preserved specimens. The Australian artist's traceries are created with a technique that makes use of a domestic sewing machine and a base cloth which is dissolved in water after the piece is completed, leaving behind elaborate skeletons that mimics patterns of leaves, shells, and coral. Meredith Woulnough‘s detailed embroideries embody the beauty and fragility of the natural world. Each original work is hand-stitched by a master artisan in Suzhou the piece is then meticulously traced to create a digital version, from which multiple copies can be made using advanced embroidery technology and silk threads. Inspired by a trip to Suzhou, China by founder Christopher Leung, Art of Silk combines a 2,500-year-old tradition with modern technology to create richly vibrant landscapes, portraits, still life scenes, and more. US- and China-based company Art of Silk produces breathtakingly gorgeous works of hand-designed silk embroidery art. Here, the hard edges and rusty metal balance the cozy appeal of stitched thread. Each chosen canvas is an attempt to subvert traditional embroidery culture, which is often associated with sweetness and sentimentality. Instead of going for fabric, she sews cross-stitch patterns onto metal buckets, utensils, and car doors. My Favourite part of being a cross stitch designer is keeping in touch with people who stitch my patterns, I absolutely love to see all the photos that stitchers send to me of their amazing work, so much love goes into the stitching which is nearly always for friends and relatives and it’s a real privilege to be part of that, my mission is to keep designing and coming up with new ideas for patterns that people really want to stitch.Lithuanian artist Severija Incirauskaite-Kriauneviciene applies floral and decorative patterns to unconventional objects.
I’m probably best known for my regular page in Cross Stitch Crazy Magazine, ‘Challenge Lucie’, which is where I come up with designs by special request from the readers, I’ve completed well over 1000 challenges to date, everything from wheelie bins to Sydney Opera house, you name it, I have almost certainly designed it! When I’m not cross stitch designing, which I have to say is not that often! I like to travel in my caravan with my better half, Rich, and our border terrier, Bob, we like to explore new places, walk and enjoy the countryside and nature but I’m always looking for inspiration where ever I go. Over the years I’ve worked for magazines in the UK, USA and Netherlands and have contributed to various books as well as selling patterns here in my online shop, I was one of the first people ever to offer pattern downloads when I started my site 10 years ago and I like to keep ahead with ways to share my designs with all the lovely stitchers out there.īeing a freelance cross stitch designer has worked perfectly for me over the years and working from home has fitted in so well with my family life, since I began designing I have also raised two boys from babies to grown up young men and even managed to get through the teenage years without going too mad, well not completely … ”I’ve always been a keen crafter and had a love for art and needlework so when I saw a call out in a cross stitch magazine over twenty years ago I decided to respond and submitted my first ever design, a set of zodiac signs, the pattern was published and I’ve never looked back.
