Inspiration: Flying Haystacks

October 28, 2011 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Holy. Smokes. Here’s something new from Flying Haystacks. He says,

This is the largest piece I have yet completed in embroidery, 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″…This one is completely filled solid with stitches.
It started out with the central figure based on an image from an old 50’s French cheesecake magazine. Then I had a flash of late 60’s comic book sci-fi influence. Then a PBS show about chickens happened. Then all hell broke loose, literally. The human figure plummeting through the demonized depths on the left side is myself.

Go to his blog post for a clickable image that you can enlarge for study.
