The post You’ll Love These Pop-Culture Inspired Embroidery Portraits appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>While many embroiderers tend to be inspired by nature or fashion, this South Africa-based artist took a different route and chose pop culture as her main source of inspiration. Clough creates impressive embroidery portraits of pop culture icons like Fresh Prince from Bel Air, The Dude and Notorious B.I.G that are incredibly detailed. Besides this, she also occasionally does embroidery flower arrangements as well as other motifs like skulls and animals.
Check out some of Clough’s works below.

]]>The creative couple have been all over Europe, capturing the beauty of each city in a series of embroidery patterns. From Barcelona’s contemporary architecture to the colourful buildings of Stockholm, the artists encapsulated the detailed structures of famous landmarks. Each design can be downloaded so you can also recreate them on your own and it comes with a technique and color guide. The artists also offer online courses where you can learn the art of embroidery.

To come back to a place helps to give perspective on all the things you've accomplished in the time you were gone. It's too easy to get stuck in your thoughts and not take a step back for a greater overview. This is the same for my embroideries of architecture. To sometimes take a step back and look up at the magnificent buildings you have around you gives you a unique perspective of the city and its history. For example, this building on Rue Rembrandt in the 8th arrondissement is just next to Parc Monceau, which was first built in 1778 by Philippe d'Orleans, the cousin of King Louis XVI. For every stitch I think and imagine all the things that the walls of this building must have seen and heard. In fact, embroidering a building adds yet another perspective that allows you to go deeper into the history and understanding of the structures that is invaluable
