I was so excited to find this wonderful embroidery made by Judith Pudden in the Embroidery Group on Flickr. The detail in this work is amazing and I especially love the silver skirt. This embroidery is based on an Edward Gorey illustration. His outstanding work translates well to embroidery as I found out myself recently. I actually have another one in the (or rather a) hoop at the moment. Check out Judith's other embroidery work here (impressive satin stitching!).
Now... I was wondering if you all would like another Feeling Stitchy contest? I hope so, because we have one planned in about a months time! Actually, I just realised that today's featured work would fit the contest rather well. Are you curious yet what the theme is?
Is it blackwork?
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, "this just screams Gorey!" Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!!! I LOVE Edward Gorey! This is so fabulous!
ReplyDelete@Megan I think black work traditionally is a form of counted thread and (thus) looks more 'geometrically' shaped, lines or not as flowing as with this design. But someone please correct me if I'm wrong!!
