I love the way she incorporates the text. There is a story to read and a story found in connecting all the images.

Wow! These are gorgeous – thanks for sharing them. I’ve been wanting to play around with some embroidery ideas after I found a sketch embroidery book at a Japanese book store in Portland. Seeing stuff like this is *highly* inspirational. Thanks!:)
Absolutely amazing, they are like fantastic layered prints but made out of thread. I just love them thanks so much for posting them!
Thank you for your kind comments!
Did you know that there is a book too. For more information see my website,
