Wonderful Wednesday #42: Belinda Marshall Kits

Well I suppose by now it's fairly obvious what my favorite colors are - and you can see them all in play in this wonderful Printed Fabric Pattern by Belinda Marshall Kits on Etsy. I thoroughly appreciate the creativity in this abstract piece, and how restful it would be to work at such a pleasing form. I can't wait to see more kits in this exciting new Etsy shop!

Belinda in her own words, from her shop description:

"I am a visual artist {abstract painter} and designer {surface, embroidery} living in Melbourne and working from my studio in Brunswick."

Belinda also sells her fine art prints, cushions, and wall hangings on Etsy, don't miss that inspiring shop as well: https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/BelindaMarshallArt

You can see more of Belinda's kits on Instagram: @belindamarshallembroideryworks.

Friday Instagram Finds No. 10

Hooray - it's Friday! The funny thing is that I'm writing this ahead of time on Sunday, and I haven't even started my workweek, but I'm already looking forward to the weekend :)

This Friday I am introducing you to Kelly Darke. She is an art therapist who works with fibers to create unique art.

@kellydarke
Kelly's embroidery creations are unlike any I've ever seen! They are unique and one of a kind. There is intention and design in each piece that she creates. The layers she puts into each piece give each piece depth, and visual interest.

I love the bright colors Kelly so often uses in her pieces, and the way that she assembles them.

The close up photos of her work that Kelly shares on her Instagram account are stunning! It is fascinating to see her process, and how she layers the fibers she uses to create her art.

I hope you've enjoyed this edition of Friday Instagram Finds (FIF) on Feeling Stitchy, which is brought to you weekly, and you'll check out Kelly's work on Instagram! Please leave comments below to let me know what you thought. If you'd like to be considered for FIF, or if you find a great embroiderer or stitch-related needle worker who you think I should feature, be sure to tag their pictures with #feelingstitchyig, and I'll take a look!

While you're on Instagram, make sure you follow Feeling Stitchy! We're @feelingstitchyish. We'd love for you to stop by and say hello.
