This incredible artist creates the most mesmerising images by applying embroidery over the top of her watercolour paintings...

I simply love the delicate contrast between the 'airy' and light watercolour and the textures created by the stitches.

I have often seen a watercolour wash painted on to fabric for back ground colour, but these are beautiful little paintings on paper enhanced by stitches. Can you even begin to imagine the skill it would take to machine stitch so densely onto paper without damaging it?
Ann has a wonderful little 'how it happens' book on her website. To have a look just clik

Absolutely amazing, thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos, Anna, it's beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteShe has to be sure the first time about where she puts her stitches, because there are no do-overs on paper!
Wow! Definitely inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
