Inspiration: Flying Haystacks

May 12, 2012 by Denise Felton 3 Comments

Flying Haystacks (who remains anonymous on Blogger and Etsy) produced this amazing work of embroidery for an upcoming show. This is a larger format than usual for this artist, and it incorporates brilliant solutions to the design challenges inherent in a larger work. Only the central image is shown here. Go to the blog post for photos of more views that you can click to enlarge.
