I’ve notice sometimes people I follow on Instagram post pictures of their books they use as reference & inspiration. I ❤️ to find new books I’ve not heard of to further my scope. So here are some of the textile books I use which some maybe familiar with. I actually have more books on art than textiles & due to lack of space, have most fiction on my kindle. I have many books on exhibitions that I’ve visited and a gallery worth of postcards too! * * #fiberart #textiledesign #textiletechniques #cra
A rainy day is perfect to make a few stitched pieces, working on two at the same time. All antique Japanese textiles. * * #antiquetextiles #sewing #fabricstash #slowstitching #makersmovement #handstitch #embroidery #stitchfix #boro #indigo #textileart #textileartist #fiberart #sciart #interiordecor #wallart #upcycled #wabisabiart #stitch #slowmovement #slowstitch #textiles #embroideryart #contemporaryembroidery #contemporarycraft #stars #stitchersoninstagram #sashikoart #needleart #milkyway

Wabi sabi artwork
Found some amazing Japanese antique accounts book on washi paper, inspired to create small artworks.
The reverse can just be as interesting & shows what messy embroidery I do! Don’t care 😝 Wabi Sabi, joy in imperfection. * * #wip #stitches #embroidery #slowstitch #handstitch #messy #dodgystitching #colorful #knotty #wabisabi #imperfection

Taking a damaged Indian embroidery and breathe new life into with some colour and stitching. Good to reuse and restyle. * * #reuse #renew #restyle #upcycle #sustainable #vintagetextile #fiberart #textileart #textiles #stitch #slowmovement #slowstitch #rustic #wabisabiart #countrybrocantestyle #handstitch #neutraldecor
These Hmong textiles are my favourites & I always end up buying any I see. The intricate batik designs coupled with my favourite colour matches of indigo with red is what draws me. 💙♥️ * * #indigo #batik #textiles #ethnictextiles #fabricstash #tribal #print #hmong #hmongfabric
Posting some special textiles I have in my fabric stash over the coming weeks. 1st up is this lovely aged piece of Japanese Boro. Patched, holey & delicately worn. * * #antiquetextiles #sewing #fabricstash #slowstitching #makersmovement #boro #indigo #textileartist #fiberart #upcycled #rustic #primitivedecor #wabisabiart #stitch #slowmovement #slowstitch #distressed #textileheaven
