Collaboration Part 5: Hairy Heads

Monday, May 14th, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Collaboration, Work In Progress

We had another productive weekend this week working on our pieces for the fairytale exhibition next month. We didn’t get all the work done that we’d have liked to as we were awaiting the delivery of some materials but we still made good progress. Two of our characters, Little Red and Joringel were adorned with nice full heads of raven black hair as you can see above.

Collaboration: Part 1

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Collaboration, Work In Progress

This last week I commenced work on a new collaborative project with the wonderfully talented fairy tale illustrator Layla Holzer in preparation for a rather exciting exhibition next month.

The work is in it’s very infancy as you can see from the papier-mâché cocoons pictured above. There’s rather a lot of work to be done in a relatively short space of time so I’m not going to give to much about the project just yet but you might find a clue in my previous post. I can assure you that the work will be delightfully dark and magical and you can expect plenty of updates on here though as the work progresses.

In the mean time you might like to go check out some of Layla’s work at www.laylaholzer.co.uk.

Black and White Unicorn Embroidery

Saturday, April 28th, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Work In Progress

I finished the second of my unicorn tapestries this morning. It’s being a labour of love but it’s now finally complete. The work has been created using split stitches with white and sliver DMC embroidery threads on a black cotton-linen mix fabric. It measures approximately 297 × 420mm.

This is the reverse of the work displaying my oh so tidy stitches. I’ll share the full frontal images of the finished work in days to come once it’s been framed. You can view pictures of the first of these works in my gallery here.

My other unicorn embroideries can be seen on www.unicorn-porn.com.

Stacey Page Embroideries

Thursday, April 26th, 2012
Posted in: Blog

I found this work by American artist Stacey Page on Twitter last week. I’ve seen embroidery onto old photographs done a few times but I think this is the most exciting results I’ve come across combining stitch and photographs. She has taken the photographs into a completely different realm. It feels a little like Stacy is unveiling the secret and fantastical lives of the stern faces that are captured in these old photographs. What could have, should have, might have been perhaps.

A Rain of Birds

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

This beautiful embroidery is the work of Ukrainian artist Ivan Semesyuk. He works in paint and creates sculptures too but it’s textile work that stands out strongest. If you have a little rummage through Semesyuk’s website you’ll find some beautifully embroidered creatures from birds like those pictured above to much more monstrous beasts.
