I was having a long leisurely look through the beautiful Blue Sky Butterfly Tumblr the other day and came across the breathtaking embroidery of Erin Endicott. These pieces are from her Healing Sutras collection. Erin has applied contemporary embroidery to antique fabrics "as a canvas to explore the common threads that bind countless generations of women". I like this idea... and I especially like that a growing number of people are once again embroidering these days. It makes me want to start a new embroidery project... :)

Wow. This is incredible. It really reminds me of rocks pools and sea urchins - it's different. I like 'different'!
Awesome stuff!!!
xoxo
WOW! This is beautiful. I love that she has combined the antique fabric with a contemporary embroidery style. Agree with Cindy too - my immediate thought was sea urchins. Just lovely. thanks for this find :)
Hi Kylie,
This is beautiful work, so organic and original. It also reminds me of the beautiful underworld in the ocean.
Breathtaking indeed! Wow! :)
Wow - never seen anything like that!
They remind me of coral or even some sort of map.
Isn't it amazing? Love the colours and the detail in the top two photos are wonderful. I can see why your are inspired, I wish I could sew! Thanks for the mention xx
Thank you everyone for our lovely comments! xox erin
oops.. that was supposed to say "your lovely comments" :)
I'm a bit smitten with that embroidery bizzo (in my own steep learning curve fashion). Though samples up there are breathtaking.
Very beautiful and inspiring work - thankyou for introducing this artist to us Kylie :)
Exquisite work!!
I love your coral tees!Colours that make me happy!xx:)
Hi K. You're a love - thank you so very much for your encouragement regarding my work.
Now, as for Erin Endicott - FABULOUS (I'll explore there in a minute). I didn't think sea urchins (ok, yes in the first image)- I saw anatomy and blood mostly. Capillaries and the like. Wonderful inspiration. How I love contemporary, free hand embroidery.
XO
PS. Love the pink tee in the previous post too.
Stunning- these are so intricate and uniquely beautiful. I have never heard of her work before, thanks for sharing! So inspiring! And thanks for your kind comments about my stitching...I have suddenly had my eyes opened to the potential of this craft, its kind of exciting to be a beginner, do you agree? Xokate
