The Floating Threads of Amanda McCavour





The beautiful floating embroidery of artist Amanda McCavour is just captivating. Much like we make freestanding lace, she stitches her designs on a water soluble fabric, so when it’s finished it leaves behind just the overlapping, raw threads.
I love the look of delicate decay all her pieces have. The floating effect just makes them ghostly. Gorgeous!
Check out her website so see more stunning images of her work.

Wow! what creative work and just inspiring! My most creative thread look is found in bird nest. I throw my thread clippings and lint out for the birds to use!
