Kumi Kosuge

January 31, 2020 12:03 AM \

Kumi Kosuge is the talent behind the Japanese embroidery brand, EHEHE.  She studied photography in an art college but found herself leaning towards art and literature.  Embroidery started out as a hobby giving her work to friends and family.  She started to post her work on Instagram and as her followers increased she decided to take up embroidery as a full-time job.

What attracted us to her work was the inclusion of animals in her designs. She also includes some of her favorite things such as flowers, food and celebrities.

You can follow the artist on her Tumblr website and on Instagram.

We love these handmade ceramic pins created by Kasia under the brand name, Cassiopeia Ceramics.  The artist and ceramist is from Minsk, Belarus.  Wish we can give you more information but very little was available.
