Contemporary Embroidery

While looking around for inspiration, I'm often amazed by the talented needle artists out there! Part of the fun of just wandering, are the pleasant surprises we come across. Thanks to many needlework blogs, and sites like Etsy and Pinterest, we have access to instruction and creative inspiration like never before. With social media, we can easily share our common interests with people all over the world.



Danielle Clough, of South Africa, is one of those artists whose works, in particular her embroidered portraits of people and animals, are energetic and colorful.
