Loving these delicate embroidered pieces created by Kanae Entani, an embroidery artist trained in the U.K. but based in Japan. After assisting London-based designers, she started a career as a freelance embroidery artist. Her inspiration comes from not only flowers and animals but also horror films, mystery novels, and alternative rock music. She would like to eventually use her traditional embroidery skills to create something modern and contemporary.
At first glance you may think that these threaded artwork are crocheted but they are not. Embroidery artist Kaoru Hirota creates these intricate, tiny pieces with a strong sewing needle called a Nuibari. The stitch she uses appears to be a corded Brussels stitch, a 3d type of embroidery. The artist has had a solo and a two person exhibition and has been featured in many craft books recently using her brand name, Hipota. Would love to get hold of some of her pieces but alas, they art only sold in Japan.
Helen Wilde is a Nottingham Trent University, Decorative Arts graduate who created these incredible dimensional embroideries. Her latest series shows oceanic and botanical landscapes seen in Sri Lanka. The artist uses a limited color palette and layers stitches, knots, twists and pom pom to create the dimensional effect. Â
