Hello there!
I thought I'd introduce you to this new Tumblr page dedicated to my personal project and latest obsession: embroidery! I only picked it up about a year and a half ago, as a bit of a fun challenge for myself (I'm not exactly known for my manual dexterity 😅).
Those who know me can tell you that drawing has always been my primary hobby. No doubts. This natural inclination led me to my current job as a full-time Graphic Designer for an Italian automotive company. However, my work isn't as creative as it might seem, so I'm always looking for ways to let loose…my head is literally a factory of ideas!
I've found that embroidery is the art form that allows me to express myself the most while also providing me with precious moments of relax. I can go on stitching for hours listening to good music, standing at my strictly messy little table!
The embroidery technique that has captivated me the most from the very beginning is thread painting. I find it incredible how you can recreate such realistic shades with just a needle and thread. I think this is the ideal technique for anyone who wants to achieve a painterly effect with their embroidery. I personally love using silk threads with this technique, they create such a luminous and delicate effect!
But there are other techniques that I'm experimenting with that really fascinate me....just to name a few: cross stitch, canvas work, blackwork....
I'm excited to share my embroidery journey with you all, from very beginner projects to more intermediate works! I'll also be sharing some of my favorite embroidery supplies, tips and curiosities along the way.
So grab your needle and thread, and let's get stitching!
