new stitches...

i've had a nice, quite afternoon of coffee, a new show and some stitching. life has been a little hectic lately, and it was nice to sit down and get some work done this afternoon.

new embroidery work...

i've been working on some new embroidery work for my upcoming shows. i love the texture in these pieces, and the way the stitches play on top of the print.

lookbook pages...

i was just going thru a bunch of files on my computer from my digital classes this year, and came across a PDF lookbook assignment we did, and i thought i'd share a few pages with you.



ohh and check out this sweet post mandy did of me!

embroidered portraits...

how amazing are these embroidered portraits!? i love embroidery, but i don't think that i could do anything like this. i am defiantly always amazed by other artists out there! made by daniel kornrumpf

new pieces!

so i've got some new work made! i've mostly been stitching the last 2 weeks, both hand embroidered pieces, and well as the circle machine stitched pieces. and i'm loving both sets! both sets are necklace pieces and well as some brooches. the current pieces are all black, white and grey, and the next bunch will be colourful, in the same colour way as some of my scarves (which i have some new ones to share with you soon too!). ohh and some of these new jewelry pieces are up in the shop if you want to check them out! and if anyone is interested in something specific or a certain colour feel free to message me!

new items in the shop!

some of my new work is finally available in my shop! i'm really excited to get some of my work out there into peoples hands and around your lovely necks! i currently have the grey/black scarves available, and hope to have more colours soon! if anyone is interested in a specific colour feel free to email me and we can work something out! same goes for the embroidered pendants, they will be available in any colour.
ohh and if you live close to me and would like something feel free to email me and we won't have to worry about shipping anything!
hope you ladies like!!

new work...

so i've been stitching away the last few days. this is one of my new, smaller pieces. they aren't quite as time consuming as the larger pieces (like the b/w one at the bottom) which is nice! i'm going to be putting this little guy up in my shop, with more colours to come soon! if anyone is interested in one in a specific colour just let me know!!

grad collection...

happy monday!! how was everyones weekend? mine was really fun, and then sunday was really productive! i did a photoshoot with some friends and got most of my most recent work all photographed. i really love how these came out! i have more to share with you too, but you can see them later! ;)

live.laugh.love.

this is my hand embroidery project from my 'textiles investigation' class from last semester. we had to embroider a map about our selves. i had made a 'live' embroidery earlier in the fall, and decided that i wanted to use the 'live laugh love' phrase to describe me and where i have lived. along with those words i have also lived in 3 places, and felt like those words really described what those different places meant to me. the 'live' map is from when i lived in vienna, which i feel was an experience of a life time. the 'laugh' map is from where i live now at school, cause i have some crazy friends and we have some crazy fun times together. and the 'love' map is of home, where my family and my boyfriend live. all the green hearts on the maps represent my home in each place. it was a crazy intense project to do, and hand embroidery takes sooo much more time than you expect!! each letter took at least 1/2 an hour, plus all the maps. but i really love it, and it totally represents who i am. hope you like it too!
