Found these incredible embroidery designs on the Korean blog, Joystitch. Don’’t know too much about the maker except that she has been embroidering for eleven years and now teaches French embroidery classes. Her work is amazing so we decided to share.
You can follow the maker on her blog and on Instagram.

Found these on This is Colossal one of our favorite go to source for talents. These ‘Nesting’ series of artwork is the creation of California-based artist Natalie Ciccoricco who embroiders lengthy colorful stitches with twigs mounted on handmade paper. The Dutch born mix media designer creates collages and illustrations with the use of embroidery thread in combination with other materials such as old books, magazines, photographs, natural objects and other ephemera. She draws inspiration from her dreams, nature, arts, literature and my travels. In her bio she says this about her work:Â
“CREATING ART IS A FORM OF MEDITATION TO MEâ€
“First, I take my time picking out my materials. I carefully prepare them for embroidery and select the different colors of thread I will use. My favorite part is the stitching itself, as it slowly reveals what the piece will look like.
The repetition of the motions is a very calming process. Even though I always have an idea in my mind of the end result, the finished piece can be quite surprising.â€
You can follow the artist on her website, Facebook and Instagram. Some of her artwork is available for purchase on her website shop.

First found this type style on blog site of our favorite stationer, Present and Correct. They are embroidery type designs found in the book, “A Handbook of Lettering for Stitchers†by Swedish author, Elsie Svennas. There is very little information on the author other than the fact that she has written a few books on stitching, quilting and macrame. A PDF of the alphabet and the book can be downloaded here at Academia.
