I’m looking for art to feature on my forthcoming newly
re-branded blog.  I would like to open this call to my readers
since I have received such wonderful links to your art in the past

I will still be focusing on art that incorporates
thread, along with photography, collage and modern craft.  Please
send links or recommendations – don’t be shy!

You can also post a link on my facebook page

I love collage and this is how I discovered Australian artist Jordan Clarke‘s
interpretation of the seven deadly sins.
“This series features vintage advertising, fabric and paper ephemera, medical plates,
Victorian etchings and some Photoshop magic to bring it all together.
A relevant quote from the Latin Bible is included in the background of each.”

She takes embroidery art to another level.

Embroidered and crocheted leaves by German artist Susanna Bauer.
“Appropriating traditional craft techniques like weaving and crochet
as a means of sculpture brings a contemplative element to the development
of my work. I am interested in unusual combinations of materials, the
experimentation with fragility and strength and the individual stories
that evolve and shape themselves in the process of making.”
