“Mostly my work is based on images which fall into my hands and usually I don’t make any sketches,” she told the Paperfolk blog. “I have plenty of ideas in my head (sometimes too much) which isn’t always good because I forget to realize lots of them.”

Having been raised in an artistic family, creativity was always a natural part of Bartnik’s life, but she’s mostly self-taught in the art of embroidery. “I discovered embroidery as a teenager when I found a book about folk embroidery,” she says. “I really liked it so I decided to try it myself. It came naturally to me because I had a background in various other fields of art.”

“Embroidery is very time-consuming so I had to postpone it for a while and got back to it after a few years,” she adds. “I started to play around with felt and I discovered how good it looks when it’s combined with embroidery. Soft painterly effects can be achieved by using the felting technique and look perfect in combination with an acute line of threads.”

Her embirderies are sold on her online store, but you can also enjoy them from afar by scrolling through her Instagram page.

Employing a freehand needle painting style, Giordano’s amazingly picked up embroidery by “trying out various ideas and seeing what worked best, followed by a lot of practice,” as she explains on her website.

She says an animal embroidery takes her about a week to complete, and considering the level of detail, the preciseness of her work, and how tiny it actually is, we’re amazed it doesn’t take a whole month!

“I began to sew in the last year of my illustration degree at the University of the West of England,” writes Giordano, “and since graduating in 2011 I have continued to experiment with freehand embroidery, using sewing thread and hand-dyed fabrics to make my work.”  

We were not surprised to learn that among Giordano’s clients are huge names like Bloomsbury, Vintage Book, Liberty, Penguin, Frances Lincoln, the BFI and more. She even has a book, The Embroidered Art of Chloe Giordano, coming out this month on Search Press!

Beverstock, who has a degree in Hand Embroidery from the Royal School of Needlework, received widespread acclaim for her embroidery creations and her talent was also recognized by the film and fashion industry. She worked on several high-profile projects in recent years, including historical drama Mary Queen of Scots.

In a recent chat with Colossal, Baverstock said that she wants to “push the boundaries of three-dimensional hand embroidery and precious metal goldwork,” while keeping the focus on “natural themes and realism.”

“Embroidery has such a rich history, and I’ve found the specialized nature of the craft and the variety of traditional techniques to be hugely inspiring,” – Baverstock told the magazine.
