Ever wonder how stitcher extraordinaire Stitchalicious gets her amazing embroidery done? Well her secret is out… it’s an army of tiny graffiti stitchers!
More photos of this awesome little collaboration she made photographer Matti Hillig and a bunch of delinquent playmobil figures are all up on her website.
I wonder if these guys are for hire…
Genius idea from the Fossil blog, as the new perforated Mason bags make the perfect canvas for creating cross-stitch designs. Get the DIY.

This absolutely cracked me up. Totally handmade stitching from FingerPricks.
The best part?
Yeah, it’s totally for sale. Hang that pretty on your wall and smile with all the snarky irony you can muster, then proudly show it off to house guests. I’m guessing they won’t know if it’s funny because it’s true, or because it isn’t.
If you were a follower of the old, old blog (you know, the one that no one read) you might have already seen the work of Severija Incirauskaite-Kriauneviciene when it popped up in our flickr group. Severija is a fabulous textile artist who specializes in cross stitching on the previously un-stitchable, most notably metal objects like skillets (as above), pans, irons and even cars.
Well Colossal was nice enough to point out there’s a fabulous interview with her today over on Don’t Panic. Check out some behind the scenes and more images over on the post.
C’mon, you really really want to know what it’s like to embroider a car.
I am absolutley smitten with the husband and wife team of Frederique Morrel, who rescue vintage needlework and turn them into these amazing pieces of art.
From the artists-
‘Our products have been carefully re-made using vintage needlework saved from oblivion in the interest of the redemption of the painstaking work involved in their original creation. When wandering around markets or garage sales we’re often very saddened to see discarded embroidery. ‘
You can see much much more over on their website, including a pretty cool behind the scenes on how they made one of their creations.
