contemporary embroidery.

sarah k. benning, an american fiber artist now creating and living in spain is producing these amazing contemporary embroidered scenes, & the plants are stealing my heart away...

sarah first began embroidering as a nanny, to relax. her hobby soon transformed into an art. sarah "approaches each piece as an illustration rather than a textile often abandoning traditional stitches and techniques in favor of bold shapes, playful patterns, and contemporary subject matter."

i just love these, don't you?! enjoy!
