Cookies, Crisps, Cans... And Crocs!

 I've just come across a young woman who produces the most amazing embroidery. Her name is Alicja Kozliwska, and she is Polish. She specialises in reproducing ordinary items using a technique she calls 'artquilting' which involves combining hand embroidery and machine stitching to make three-dimensional pieces. The detail is incredible. Just look at these...





Click on the images for more detail, or even better, check out her website [here] where you will find even more brilliant artworks. I love the Oreo cookies, and the Kinder Eggs. And the Starbucks cup is tremendous.

  6. A similar idea is the artist Lucy Sparrow at sewyoursoul.co.uk who created an entire Corner shop out of felt!
