Ornate Embroidery by Humayrah Bint Altaf

Bedford, England-based embroidery artist Humayrah Bint Altaf composes stunning pieces that adorn ordinary piece of cloth into exquisite pieces of art,

She incorporates endearing little insects like the beatles, or a majestic butterfly flapping its wings, a colorful tree with its entwined leaves and branches, all completed using not only a plethora of vibrant Rococo threads but also tiny metallic beads or thin cords, beautiful embellishments to these creative endeavors. She seeks inspiration from Mother Nature around her, after taking long walks to the woods near her home, gathering leaves, twigs, feathers and all tiny things that she can preserve at home and call them her muse. Though a fashion designer, Altaf had the chance to study at the Royal School of Needlework that helped her acquire skills as an embroidery artist.
