Today, I thought I would share some of my favorite artists who work in the medium of embroidery or decorative stitching. This is one of my favorite ways to work, and I am constantly being inspired by the creativity and skill of the Fiber Art community!
I just discovered Stacy Page's work while researching for this blog, but I had to include her. Take a peek at her website, she has some truly exceptional pieces.
When you take a look at Aubrey Longley-Cook's blog, you have to check out Runaway, which is a series of embroideries that he created a stop motion video clip with.
Orly Cogan is one of my favorite artists working with embroidery. Her style is fresh and compelling. One warning, her website isn't exactly safe for work. While I wouldn't classify her work as dirty or particularly salacious, it is mostly adult content.
Stephen Sollins does some incredibly original work,by un-working vintage needlepoint pieces, and creating something new in the process. I also tend to love the mix of modern and antique in his work.
Pretty great stuff, huh? I am only about halfway through my favorites, but I think I will save some of those artists for a part two. What do you think about embroidery as art? I find it to be warmer and more personal than a lot of new painting work. (Of, course, I am more than a little biased towards Fiber mediums) Is this kind of work something you would like to try your hand at?

I am working on a kind of big embroidery project , based on the anatomy of the arm. I am gonna try to upload an image of the prototype this weekend. I'll have to take a look at your bike embroidery. Are there any images on your blog?
