embroidered yeti

megan whitmarsh “uses embroidery and sewing techniques in her art. Her works combine the traditional medium of embroidery with elements in pop-culture such as yetis and battling elf girls. While the size of her work ranges from small to large, her characters remain tiny and detailed, forcing the viewer to literally peer into her worlds.” (from non starving artists) This image is titled ‘Shangri-la’

Ha! I love non-traditional embroidery. I think this Yeti sighting is the motivation I need to finally learn to do it myself.

Megan,
I’m pretty new to blogging and like your embroidery. I’m an artist known best for my “female merit badges” and bead people. Will keep looking and glad I discovered you via Drawn!
