The post Erin Alyssa’s Embroidery Art Will Transport You to the World of Magic appeared first on TheWanderWit.
]]>Alyssa is a talented embroidery artist based in Van Island, Canada. She’s been sharing her creations with the world since 2020, and her Instagram account really started growing after she developed her signature whimsical style, attracting over 160,000 followers.
Alyssa’s hoops are instantly recognizable, but developing her embroidery style has been quite a journey. She finally found her footing when she started working on her “Retro Girl” series, and things fell into place from that point on.
“I’ve always loved the styles, colors, and music of the 70s & 80s. Leaning into this, I started designing more patterns based on my love of retro! Not only did I love it, but I found that so many others connected with the nostalgia that my designs bring!” she wrote on Instagram.
Alyssa’s embroidery experienced a true boom when she started working on her starry night designs. They bring the magic of the night sky to her embroidery hoops, and she’s using everything from golden threads to beads to make them even more enchanting.

]]>“I love to draw, I love food, so I thought why not try using thread as a medium and combine the things I love and am interested in?” she explained in an interview with Dark Yellow Dot.
When it comes to the creative process itself, Avery has it down to a science: “I have developed a process that I know works for me in my creative process,” she says. Depending on the piece she’s working on, so will the process vary.
“For my bigger plates of food I cook the dish, compose the food for the correct photo, and then take many photos to capture the food in its best light and composition,” she says. “The other approach I take is to make a colored sketch for a photo I have taken or a combination of photos to create the best image ready to stitch.” She then draws a very basic sketch on fabric and changes it as she goes along.
Aside from food, she also embroiders portraits. Those often feature icons like Iris Apfel and Malala Yousafzai. “I’m always thinking of new ideas and yet there is not enough time to do them all,” she says. “I’m always excited to start new projects.” We’re just as excited!

]]>Prinku’s embroidery art focuses on showcasing flowers in all of their beauty. It features a variety of flowers depicted in various stages, from flower buds to full blossoms. But besides being expertly executed, these pieces also have something that differentiates them from similar flower-inspired embroidery: they contain real flowers.
To make her pieces, Prinku uses a combination of threads and dried flowers. Despite working with such a delicate and unforgiving material, this talented artist is able to create all sorts of unique embroidery artworks in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from wall pieces to lampshades, further adding to their appeal.
“My favorite part of it is the scope to be inventive. Drawing inspiration from traditional embroidery, I love coming up with new ideas and experimenting with the technique further,” Prinku explains on her website.

I then paint with a needle on the felt, apply colors and in the end embroider finer details.”
With some of her biggest passions including nature, traveling, and art, inspiration comes easy. “Nature itself is my greatest inspiration,” says Bartnik. “It contains all sorts of colors, shapes, and textures.” You can purchase her work online or simply follow her Instagram page.

#embroidery #dmcembroidery #embroideryart #frenchknots#forrestgump #chocolate#chocolatebox#刺繍#フレンチノット#フォレストガンプ#チョコレートBased and Japan, and known only by her online moniker, ipnot uses her needle as a sort of a paintbrush, stitching one knot at a time – an embroidery technique known as French knotting, in which the yarn or thread is knotted around itself. “I discovered myself that the French knot stitch can be done by wrapping thread around the needle,” she explains on her website. “I find this type of stitching to be a lot of fun to do and it is my favorite type of stitch.”
“I choose a thread of my own preference from 500 different-colored embroidery threads,” she adds, explaining the thought process that goes into her work. “As in the art of stipple painting, I use my needle like a paintbrush and I stitch one knot at a time.” According to her, she doesn’t mind the amount of time and effort that goes into each piece. “It feels like a hobby since I am having fun,” she admits.
Prepare to be amazed.

]]>But things weren’t as straight forward as it might seem. “In the past, I often tried to teach myself embroidery,” admitted Case on a blog post published on her website. “I’d buy the books! I’d buy the fabric! I’d buy the floss! And the hoops! And the needles! PHEW… And then I’d promptly get ‘too busy’ and put them away in the cupboard. Only to pick them up a couple of months later and start the process all over again. I’d get so excited to do something creative and then KAPUT I’d give up.”
Then, according to her, something quite extraordinary happened and she had to take some unexpected time off work because of a bout of illness. “I needed something that I could do at home,” she writes, “that would entertain me but also was calming, relaxing and creative.”
And so, inspired by her grandmother, she took – once again – to embroidery. “Embroidery became this mindful experience for me,” says Case. “Something that made me feel uplifted but at ease. I’d become so connected to screens, to work, to getting it all done; embroidery was able to be the antithesis of that.”
Now she shares this passion with others, creating modern hoop art and one of a kind jewelry pieces which you can also admire through her Instagram page.

Almost as if I could step into the tiny frame and be back in New Zealand with the view. I WISH!! 
TeresaHaving graduated from Lasalle College of the Arts, majoring in Fashion Textile Design, Lim has been working on anything textile related ever since. Her intricate embroidery works have been commissioned by brands as big as Gucci, Changi Airport, and Swarovski to name a few; and she’s also showcased her work in various countries and in publications both locally and internationally.
if I had more time, I’d want to spend it just reading about ALL the things. 
what’s ONE book that you read this year and absolutely love?! Pls share it with me 
“Because of my background and training in textile and fashion design, I am always thinking of application onto women’s (I majored in womenswear) bodies,” she notes. “Being exposed to this made me think more frequently about the female body and how we view it in society. This, in turn, also led me to ponder a lot more on gender issues, body issues, stereotypes and archetypes of women. At the end of my degree, I found myself being not so interested in the superficiality of design but in using it as a medium to highlight issues and tell stories.”
Her work is mostly inspired by the people and things around her, including literature and music. Lim is also a trained classical violinist who has studied music for almost all her life. To her, music and visual art work hand in hand, with each informing the other. Here are some highlights from her Instagram page:
they say if you double tap on the little rat you get extra huat points this year. 
Wishing everyone lots of happiness and good health this year. Especially with the coronavirus going around, it’s really scary – pls take care everyone!!

]]>Then in 2012, she began to cover objects with her collected embroideries. “I decided to try to cover things from the ’70s, a sewing machine, a typewriter for example, and it went well,” she says. “It was like you saw the objects for the first time, and you weren’t sure of what you were looking at”. Over the years, her embroidery collection grew to over 100 different designs. She admits to having mixed feelings for these embroideries which are often seen as kitsch and regarded as worthless.
“I am very meticulous when I cover the objects,” says Wikander. “If these women made perfect embroidery, I would like to make the ideal covering, and I make that by sewing and gluing. It is my way of showing respect to these women whose embroideries I cut apart (that hurts, every time).”
Her favorite embroidery motives and colors include typical Swedish small red cottages in the countryside with blue sky and birches, as well as wild animals, like elk, deer, and birds, often seen in woodlands. Each of her “dressed-up” pieces can include anything from a day or two to weeks to complete, depending on their size.

I have just received the original back from its holiday, and have listed it in my shop 
#embroidery #handembroidery #hoopart #embroideryhoopart #hen #birdembroidery #embroiderypattern #embroideryproject #speckledhen“When I was growing up we had a caravan in Wales and I loved the wildness of the landscape,” recalled the Birmingham-based embroiderer in an interview with Ballpitmag. “I think going there instilled in me a great love for nature and the outdoors.” After completing an art foundation course in college, Redfern worked with mixed media textile and paper collage for around six years, before starting to work with hand embroidery in 2015.
Now her work centers around hand embroidered hoop art, a small selection of which can be found on her Etsy shop. She also designs downloadable embroidery patterns which you can download for a reasonable price. “I love the fact that it takes quite a long time to stitch a piece, so it is quite a meditative process,” reflected Redfern, “and I find all of the materials really pleasing; the colorful threads, beads, lovely natural colored fabric (natural calico is my fabric of choice) and the wooden hoops.”
Drawing is an important part of her process, and when starting a new piece of work she usually makes preparatory drawings, based on photographs or her imagination. “One of the things I find most rewarding about creating embroidery patterns is the thought that they are hopefully bringing enjoyment to people, so I would like to keep creating new patterns, as well as working on new original pieces to further explore my favorite subject matter,” she says.
