Stacey Page and Stephanie Blair

Thease are the beautiful Embroideries of Stacey Page, she works with vintage imagery and Embroidery. I find the detail on her pieces fasinating, I also find the images evoke feeling, and this must be different for each viewer. To see more of stacey's work visit her website Here

Another Artist I discovered today whilst looking at the work of Stacey Page was Stephanie Blair. Her artwork ranges from Metalwork to Embroidery with lots inbetween.Here are a few images and click Here for more.

Stephanie Blair and Stacey Page work together on an exhibition called “Crossbred Thread: Ego and Memory”, a show that explores the topics of heritage, history, and personal identity.

I love her use of dolls!!  I find thease images she takes on her way round the market so inspiring! I just want to jump into the image and grab everything i see!

Embroidery

Also my old suitcase buy from the charity shop makes a great little showcase for my small Embroiderys, Cakestands and Pillows!......

Also not quite so old but equally as beautiful another suitcase i couldnt resist buying from the charity shop I volenteer at, the patterned inside is particullaly beautiful....

Bottle Dripping

As I had two glass Coca-Cola bottles saved, I wanted to turn them into candlesticks! Spacifically bohimian(esk) bottle dripping candlesticks. Letting the wax drip down over the bottle to create layers of lushious layered wax.

Above is a before the bottle dripping began.
And below is the beginigns of the many layers to accumulate upon the bottle....

 

After the wax began to layer upon layer upon layer,(due to my obsessive candle lighting) I decided to embed some miniture small soldiers (I found in my craft box) into the wax. I thought I could have them positioned as if they were climbing up toward the candle and the flame. I think it worked out well but would like too add more to emphisize the climb.

  I also photographed the bottles in front of an image from a book i recently bought which has images of old movie posters, this was just a bit of fun but I did actually like the images.....
