Embroidery Artist Uses Cascading Threads to Create Amazing Portraits

Last year, embroidery artist Sheena Liam made a buzz in the craft world with her one-of-a-kind creation that focuses on flowing hairstyles.

She creates amazing portraits of women with long thread tresses that cascade from the round canvases. Each portrait uses black thread, with simple yet delicately rendered line drawings. The subject’s hair falls loosely from her face, adding a three-dimensional element to her two-dimensional stitched women.

From loosely tied top-knots to perfectly coiffed braided pigtails, Liam continues to explore various hair braids with embroidery thread and continues to grow in its complexity.
