Mark Bieraugel



It is great to see men getting involved in embroidery arts, and as an avid poster on the Manbroidery flicker group, filmresearch aka Mark Bieraugel,is leading the way with his fish-themed embroidery pieces. Check out feeling stitchy's interview with the artist here.

Peter Crawley


This piece is from Peter Crawley's series of architectural studies.Peter works almost exclusively in black thread on paper, the fibrious thread giving a softness to the precise straight lines and right angles in his pieces. He also has some striking abstract pieces up on his website that are worth checking out.

Luke O'Sullivan





Well it's been quite awhile since my last post and I am feeling a little rusty so I thought I would get back into the swing of things by sharing the work of Luke O'Sullivan, a non-textile artist whose work I really admire. Luke is a Boston artist who creates silkscreened, wooden sculptural pieces of every day objects. I love that the pieces are simultaneously 2D drawings and 3D art objects.
