Jordi and Mia. Double exposure embroidery at Swiss Alps. If you didn’t watch until the end of my last reel, this is how it looks. Threadpainting of a Swiss landscape and embroidered portrait of my brother and his dog Mia. 19cm hoop, thought it will get a fancy framing sometime “soon”. #threadhappens#contemporaryembroidery #portraitembroidery #threadpainting #tinystitches #dmcthreads #miniatureart #natureinspiredart #stitchersofinstagram #stitchedartisart #embroideryartwork #embroiderersofinstagram #broderie#embroideryartist #textileart #slowlife #DentsduMidi #LesDiablerets #SwissAlps #Vaud #Switzerland #VillarssurOllon #Bretaye (at Villars-sur-Ollon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeyoXeJtYyC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📆 In celebration of ballpoint pen day today, let me share the embroidery I made for @mostlymaths birthday back in February. 🪡 This is the original László Bíró’s 1938 patent for the ballpoint pen that he submited before leaving Hungary and emigrating to Argentina. Later he improved the design, filled newer patents, and ended by selling his patent rights to French businessman Marcel Bich, who in 1950 launched Bic Cristal, today’s best-selling pen worldwide. 📸 I don’t know if the Bic/Vic pun makes any sense in English (in fact it shouldn’t make sense in well-pronounced Catalan), but I took this picture when we visited the city in February and it was fun for us. #ballpointpenday #ballpointpen #contemporaryembroidery #patent #threadhappens #contemporaryembroidery #tinystitches #dmcthreads #stitchersofinstagram #embroideryartwork #embroiderersofinstagram #broderie #textileart #embroideryartist #industrialdesign #industrialdesignart #vic #bic #bicballpointpen (at Vic, Cataluna, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoV80AN_8N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📸 Close up! 🪡 Let me share a little bit of my Swiss-inspired WIP embroidery. I came to Switzerland prepared for all odds: 1️⃣ What if I want to needlepaint a portrait of Marilyn with a bird? Bring the portrait! 🦜 2️⃣ What if instead I feel the urge to embroider big strokes in tulle? Bring the tulle! 🎨 3️⃣ And what about the my personal project to translate to thread zoological illustrations of Sixteenth to Eighteenth-century? Take lots of little scraps of cotton fabric and the green thread! 📖 4️⃣ 5️⃣ 🔢 Don’t forget the Íñigo Montoya hoop, the materials for this new workshop you are enrolled in and the two crochet portraits in progress… pss, and take the threads for a new one just in case! 🙈 🏔 What happened you say? On the first day I got inspired by the landscape, the bright blue sky and hiking the Swiss mountains. 🧵I’m still amazed that the “limited” (ehem… define limited, says @mostlymaths ) palette I brought with me for the other projects - mainly portraits - is perfect and enough for this landscape embroidery. I can’t wait to share the complete embroidered piece with you! #threadhappens #contemporaryembroidery #threadpainting #tinystitches #dmcthreads #miniatureart #stitchersofinstagram #embroideryartwork #embroiderersofinstagram #natureinspiredart #broderie #embroideryartist #textileart #slowlife #SwissAlps #Vaud #Switzerland #portraitembroidery #dentsdumidi #villarssurollon #bretaye #stitchedartisart (at Villars-sur-Ollon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CegoUEMNK6H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
