The post Lauren Reed Creates Adorable Embroidery Pet Portraits appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>According to Reed, she started getting interested in embroidery after taking a Textile Art course in school. She picked up some basic techniques but opted not to pursue it further as she was more interested in drawing and painting. It was only after she finished university that she found a way back to embroidery.
After picking up needles and threads once again, Reed discovered it to be a therapeutic practice and started practicing it more frequently. Then in 2018, she created an embroidery pet portrait as a Christmas gift for a friend and realized that she has a real knack for this type of art. It wasn’t long before she decided to pursue embroidery as a full-time career, creating a successful business that helps people all around the world to express love for their pets in a unique way.
Reed is also attempting to get more people involved in embroidery, believing everyone can do it with some work and patience.
“I truly believe that everybody has the ability to create something amazing with a little patience, and I want more people to believe that too,” says Reed on her official website.

]]>In her intriguing works, Currie manages to stitch the Earth’s oceans and terrains in the way satellite captures them. She meticulously recreates mesmerizing patterns and colors created by nature, managing to seize all the important details despite using such a demanding technique.
Currie, who has a daily job as a government environmental project officer in New Brunswick, Canada, says she was inspired to start this project by her love for oceans and appreciation for satellite imagery.
“I love the ocean. I grew up on the east coast of Canada, and going to the beach was one of my favorite things to do,” Currie said in a recent interview. “I enjoy looking at satellite imagery and maps. The patterns and colors captured from that vantage point are stunning, especially images of movement patterns of biological processes.”
Currie shares her works on her Instagram page, fittingly named @satellite_stitches. Each embroidery piece inspired by satellite imagery also contains coordinates of the location, allowing viewers to compare the two. Check out more of her impressive works below.

]]>For her British followers, she is best known for her 3D soft sculpture mice. But she likes embroidery more and tries to make it as realistic as possible by adding beads to certain elements of the pieces.
Scrolling through her enchanting Instagram gallery, you’ll notice a bunch of animal portraits done with so much precision. Images of cows, roosters, giraffes, flamingos, chickens, and more, are adorning her social media platform. However, these pieces differ from others thanks to the colorful beads sewn into them.
Although she is currently available for commissions, she experiences a dose of anxiety when doing pet portraits.
“I’ve only done two pet commissions. They make me very anxious because of how personal and important they are to the customer,” she wrote on her Instagram.
She currently lives in Huston, Texas, with her husband. Scroll down and check out some of her work below!

]]>Larocque started embroidering in 2011 when she moved to Berlin. She was creating stuff only for her friends at the time. Then, three years later, she opened her online store, where you can purchase her embroidered art, objects, and bags. She currently lives in Lyon, France.
“The designs tend to stem from my overactive imagination that braids in imagery from horror films and the stranger-then-fiction stories of reality TV,” she explained to It’s Nice That.
The secret behind the name ffembroidery is interesting. “FF” or “famous friends” is from a movie, and it was meant to be for Larocque’s future high school electro-duo band. As it never happened, she decided to stick with the name. That is is how ffembroidery was born.
Her main goal with her business is to create “high-quality products and personal custom accessories that are handmade with the highest attention to detail and craftsmanship.”
“Every day I am constantly learning and improving my skills, and I have big plans for the future of ffembroidery,” the crafter added.

TeresaBut mostly, her embroidery is a way of life. Having graduated from Lasalle College of the Arts, majoring in Fashion Textile Design, Lim has been working on anything textile related ever since. “I majored in textile design when I was in university,” she told Create Magazine, relaying her background. “We had to go through a short course in basic embroidery, and that was the start of my embroidery journey. I started by working on samplers that were part of the course work, but I got so addicted to the process that I found myself hoping the course would never end!”
“Because of my background and training in textile and fashion design, I am always thinking of application onto women’s (I majored in womenswear) bodies,” she added. “At the end of my degree, I found myself being not so interested in the superficiality of design but in using it as a medium to highlight issues and tell stories.”
Her embroideries include anything from portraits to accessories (there’s even an embroidered mandarin peel!), all made with special attention to details and with an added touch of wit and humor. Here are some of our favorite pieces by her.
Maybe that’s why I’m really drawn to this cardboard cathedral, using cardboard, something so ordinary and temporary to create something so beautiful… isnt it kinda like a metaphor for life itself? These were my thoughts when I was embroidering this piece today. 
#sewwanderlust
these designs will be available this Saturday at 12pm. Which one do you like? 
I bought these pearls (only 3 of them) and amethyst stones from Italy so they’re extra special 
Looking back at my work 2 years ago – I can say my illustration and stitch work has definitely improved and is more refined. I mean, not to praise myself but I’m quite happy with how I’ve improved over the years hahaha. If you keep doing and practicing something… you can only get better and better. So don’t stop!

I feel lucky to be able to celebrate Lunar New Year – it's a good do-over from traditional New Year's (where I was knee deep in moving this year). So it was good to finally sit, create this intensive piece and reflect upon my goals and intentions for the year. You can feel free to do the same if the beginning of the year has already gotten away from you too 
Cao started a project called Forgotten Photos through which she breathes new life to vintage photographs using her embroidery skills. The way she does it is by embroidering different motifs directly on the photos, making an intriguing and rather unique art.
According to Cao, who previously did calligraphy, she started this project when she moved to Australia a year ago. After regularly seeing boxes of old photos that no one wanted on the flea markets, she decided to take them home and try to make them relevant again. The Forgotten Photos project was born and she never looked back.
Check out more of Cao’s work below.
, but I'll just continue troubleshooting it until it's ready 
Have a great week! Feel free to try something new too and we can celebrate /commiserate together

]]>Khan’s love for human anatomy and embroidery started even before she became a student. Since 2014, she has embroidered hearts, veins, eyeballs, and other different human organs on fabric. However, once she got into med school, her works started becoming more realistic and detailed.
After a few of her works gained significant exposure on social media, Khan decided to focus more on this project. This resulted in big demand for these cool artworks and now sells her embroidered anatomy on Etsy. Who can say that science and art don’t work together well?
Check out some of Khan’s embroideries below.
