The post These Intriguing Embroidery Artworks Are Inspired By Old-School Cartoons appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>Frederiksen takes an unusual approach by zooming in on particular scenes and showing them out of context. This usually involves moments of high tension or ones that foreshadow future climactic happening. By doing so, the artist creates a visually appealing piece that often contains hints of dark humor.
According to Frederiksen, the high-tension moments and escalations that take place in cartoons take a back seat and are shrouded in playfulness. His goal is to make them more pronounced with his embroidery art, which he creates using a free-motion embroidery technique.
“Using familiar imagery, I like to examine fear, panic, toxic masculinity, anxiety, anticipation, and humor, all through the lens of the shared visual language of Looney Tunes cartoons,” Frederiksen explained in a recent interview with BOOOOOOOM!.
Frederiksen presented his intriguing embroidery works through solo exhibitions at The Flat in Milan, Italy, Galleri Urbane in Dallas, Texas, and the UNION Gallery in London, UK, among others. He also shares his work on social media.

]]>The romantic flower images are done in long and short stitching; which technique the talented embroiderer Trish Burr uses. Although she doesn’t have an artistic background, she starts her process by creating a sketch on a piece of paper and brainstorming through the color palette. Then, she traces the drawing in Photoshop, prints it, and thinks through the whole plan of how to stitch it.
Amina is also known for her remarkable guided classes and sheets. While she makes her artwork, she takes pictures of the whole process, which is important for PDF patterns. Although it makes the process twice slower, she doesn’t care because her goal is to make detailed instructions.
“I like to compare embroidery with a mountain range. For example, let’s say you like surface embroidery. This becomes your mountain which you climb little by little, step by step. But as soon as you top it, you see many other mountains waiting for you,” Amina said in an interview for Embellished Talk.

]]>While Fayle’s artistic reach encompasses mixed media, she is best known for her series of embroidered leaves. She applies threads to dried leaves, creating intricate pieces that have been fascinating art lovers worldwide.
Through her embroidery works, Fayle wants to explore the relationship between natural and fabricated material. She also puts a great emphasis on sustainability, wanting to reach a zero-waste point in her practice. The leaves she uses are collected from the area around her home in Richmond, Virginia, while the threads are usually procured from second had sources.
“Stitching, like agriculture, can be functional—a technical solution to join materials/a means of survival—or, both can be done purely in service of the soul, lifting the spirit through beauty and wonder,” she explains on her website.
Most of Hillary Waters Fayle’s works are available on her Instagram page, where she shares her newest creations. They can also be checked out in person as part of several permanent botanical exhibitions, including those in Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo, and the Arboretum Kalmthout botanical garden in Kalmthout, Belgium.

]]>Auburn Hoops was created to bring embroidery to the 21st century. The main focus is on the flexible interlocking hoop that keeps the fabric taut, as well as on the beautiful frame made of solid oak, which can be painted or decorated as desired.
Despite having an artistic background, she wasn’t originally interested in art. Instead, she graduated with a degree in biology and Christian studies. However, after being pregnant with her first child, something inspired her to get into embroidery.
“Currently my style would fit into the modern embroidery category, which is really fun and super teachable,” she said in an interview for Embellished Talk. “I would love to explore outside of that and get into the technical styles and the rich history of embroidery.”
Nelson currently has more than 20,000 Instagram followers and almost 800 posts. To see some of her hoops and creations, check out the gallery below. You can also explore her website, where you can find helpful tutorials and beautiful photographs.

]]>Smith will win you over with her vibrant, floral designs, but that’s not the only thing that makes her signature hoops instantly recognizable. They also come with a set of real buttons, making them reminiscent of vivid Hawaiian shirts that no summer can go without.
Smith grew up in a creative household and she fell in love with sewing at a young age. She also learned how to cross stitch and knit before falling in love with embroidery, but she’s also very passionate about fashion design and photography.
Hawaiian shirt hoops are Smith’s biggest best-seller, but they’re not her only source of inspiration. Her Instagram page is filled with many other equally impressive pieces, with vibrant and lively motifs from nature.

]]>Featuring mainly floral patterns, her collections are a display of love of nature, textile, and color. In fact, color provides a sort of starting point to her work, as Thursday More admits she goes “color hunting” on the internet, as she looks for future references. Aside from color, her designs are also influenced by her mood, imagination, and memories.
“Creating is in my blood,” she admits, noting that her grandmother used to make colorful quilts, while her mother sewed pencil cases and throw pillow cases. “I try to stitch every day, even just for an hour,” she added in an interview with the Etsy blog. “I like the portability, the fact that I can take it with me wherever I go. It doesn’t require electricity. It doesn’t require the internet. With hand embroidery, you’re just in the moment.”
You can purchase her original pieces on her Etsy shop or follow her Instagram for that creative inspiration.

]]>Incredibly enough, Yeadon taught herself the art of hand embroidery and sewing. “One evening, I randomly decided to dust off my old sewing machine and rekindled my love for textiles,” she recalled in an interview with Enchanted Living Magazine. “I gradually began to incorporate fabrics and machine and hand embroidery into my wire creations at the very end of 2017,” she adds.
Based in Haworth, the UK, her inspiration comes from her natural surroundings. “My favorite way to seek enchantment is by taking long walks,” says Yeadon. Having grown up in the countryside, deep in the North of England, Yeadon’s home was surrounded by open fields and ancient woodlands, while in the distance, the Yorkshire Dale mountains towered above the horizon.
“I’ve always loved climbing mountains in the Lake District with my dad and our family dog, Toby,” she says. “That moment when we finally reach the summit—icy winds whipping around us as damp heavy clouds form a blanket over our view. A peaceful moment in nature, tranquil and calm.”

]]>“Even if I don’t know where to place my work within contemporary art right now, I do think they share similar characteristics with both illustration and fiber art and I try to achieve a balance between them,” explained the Turkish crafter in an interview with Textile Artist.
And thank you so much in advance“Mostly I try to use embroidery techniques on patterns that match their real-life texture,” she went on to explain. “I enjoy combining these traditional techniques with modern patterns. I also like fancy and intricate embroideries and I wouldn’t hesitate to decorate my works with sequins and beads.”
A self-taught embroiderer, Yazici began experimenting with the thread and needle back in 2014. “My first works were a recoil of embroidery being used for only traditional and decorative purposes,” she explains. “The idea of mixing the inherent tradition of embroidery with modern ideas seemed interesting to me.” Her themes tend to include flora and fauna, with a touch of surrealism. The finished piece – greater than the sum of its parts.

]]>Relying on her own special technique (which she now teaches in designated workshops), Prinku arranges dried flowers on tulle – the flowers providing an apt replacement for a needle and thread. While some flowers she dries herself, others she buys dried. She also forages for seed pods at the end of the season and picks them when they are dry already.
According to Prinku, some flowers are better than others for particular purposes. For floral embroidery hoops, for example, she looks for dry small poppies or flowers with thin stalks and no particularly big heads. Whereas for wreaths, she likes to use things like eucalyptus and olive, as well as hydrangeas and peonies.
“A lot of my ideas come from going for walks in the countryside near where I live, or things I grow in the garden,” she shared with The Italian Rêve, noting her sources of inspiration. “I love working with the seasons, so whatever is in season is my favorite at that moment!”
With spring just outside our reach, her embroidered pieces provide the perfect substitute. Take a look for yourself:
