"In using a contemporary novel as a back drop for the embroidery, the cut work decoration is used to manipulate this meaning when combined with the written word - in Sadie Smiths White Teeth some of the abrupt, crass language in the book emerges through the printed textual layers of paper, jarring the reading, perhaps forcing to viewer to reconsider the role of embroidery in the 21st Century."

Over 40 wnderful Indie designer/makers in Glasgow tomorrow including a Kirsty workshop aka 'a wooden tree' - should be fun!

hillery rebeka sproatt

Eclectic mix of items from shelves by American artist Sproatt  - wonderful range of work on her site and I just might come back to highlight one of her illustrations too!

kohei yamashita

Kohei Yamashita creates 2D and 3D works by collaging fragments cut out from printed matter. They are characterized by microscopic round parts taken from diamond advertisements, articles explaining the structure of atoms, and photos of soccer balls and flowers. These colourful fragments are taken from glossy paper, and have the appearance of water droplets or beads, covering his works with a radiant luster.  Quote from - tokyoartbeat .............. I just love it!!!!

sandra dieckmann

From a series called 'weekword' I think it's been created using paper collage but I'm not too sure - perhaps computer driven, but just love the colours and the textures!!

tilleke schwarz

I love when specialisms get mixed together and I just love Dutch artist Tilleke's work. You have to pop over to her site too, it's such fun and quirky too! Tilleke's site

lisa kokin

'Vestige' Sewn found photographs, batting, paper, 51 x 16ins  Lisa's a great favourite of mine with my students.  I think I used at least 4 of her works as reference over the last year and will continue to do so next session.

Titled 'Tea Dress' this Encaustic Mixed Media measures 12"x12" and evokes, for me, memories and light which is exactly the themes that Lisa works with - lovely piece!

Thank you Hazel for this lovely find! Quirky collage work and more on Flickr

leonie oakes

I love dresses that are art pieces! Aussie Leona is predominately a printmaker and book artist, but for me it's her mixed media dresses that stand out.  She mentions that her central themes are thought, memory and containment.  Pop over to Handmark Gallery - there are some terrific artists there...
