Happy June!

Hi everyone!

I found this amazing article on Blackwork (traditionally black honey-comb like stitch patterns on white fabric), and thought others might enjoy - particularly if you're going to be teaching or learning about embroidery!

I also found this amazing blog by embroidery/etc artist Jenny Hart, "Embroidery as Art", that seems to do a terrific job of showing work of contemporary artists and exhibitions, such as the below piece by Alicia Ross.

Embroidery and things...

Found some interesting (and really impressive!) artists and their work today!

Maurizio Anzeri—interesting embroidery on photographs:
