While perusing Catherine Campbell’s Instagram the other day—I told you, I can’t get enough of IG— I found that in addition to being an illustrator, she’s an embroiderer, too! Typically, Catherine works with pen, ink, and watercolor, but a small selections of her works are made with fabric. She approaches these textiles in a similar way, saying they “are very much like drawings that are made with needle and thread.” The results include chain stitching and appliqué in small banner pins and wall hangings. In addition, Catherine adds pompoms and ribbons, giving these works a celebratory and ceremonial feel.
These embroideries aren’t Catherine’s most recent work, but it looks like she’s finding time for the craft again. Stay tuned!
