Some of you may remember those old wooden tennis rackets. The Cape Town textile artist and photographer Danielle Clough has put them to another use. She embroiders on rackets...

Danielle learned to embroider only three years ago and has embroidered a large number of pieces in that short time. You can see more of her work on both her
website and on
Instagram.

Hi Deborah! Thanks for your lovely comments. I'm glad that you feel inspired to stitch again. I popped over to your blog and enjoyed seeing your mother's embroidery of London landmarks. What a treasure that is. I was born in London and spent only my first year there but it holds special meaning for me. Enjoy your stitching.
DeleteThese are really lovely, Lyn. I especially like the face. Inspiring.Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI like the use of different ground materials, rather than the conventional cottons and linens. I don't know that I will try anything so very different but it does make one think and see other possibilities.
ReplyDeleteoh Lyn...aren't these wonderful....
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see them my mind gets a little shake-up and starts thinking along different lines...
