michelle kingdom embroideries

Never been handy with a needle and thread? Live vicariously through the incredibly intricate embroideries of Michelle Kingdom, who definitely has all the important needlework skills. Her work most often features people, vivid colours and nature – or groups of similarly dressed girls in eerie Kate Bush-like dance ensembles – and includes details as teency as hair strands, fingers, and even delicate shadows. In fact, Michelle can probably stitch an image with more finesse than we can muster with a pencil or pen, and we’re cool with that because it means we can stare at her work in awe.
