One of my favorite Bloglovin’ feeds is from the site This is Colossal. It curates the amazing work being created in the fields of art, design, photography, craft, illustration and more from around the globe. So many times I have wondered how did the artist even conceive that?! Descriptive articles and multiple links accompany the photos. The work is surprising and stunning at the same time and always inspires me to think bigger, well, to think colossal!
I chose the following embroidery artists to share:
Embroidery and calligraphy merge in Olga Kovalenko’s gestural stitched lettering.
Found vintage photos are re-interpreted with colorful overlays by Julie Cockburn.
Thread circles hover over vintage scenes embellished with embroidery by Natalie Ciccoricco.
Macro views of British beaches become abstract textural embroideries by Emily Botelho.
