A perfect example of edgy contemporary embroidery–as an artform and as adornment–is this Tank Girl brooch by Betty Delights of the UK. Her Etsy shop intro says,
I do not use patterns. I choose my design and hand draw onto the fabric then stitch in all the detail My work is unique and completely handmade from scratch.No patterns no machine work just lovingly handmade.
Many thanks to Shirley Smith for turning us on to this awesome work. Go to Betty Delights’ shop.
Ed. note: No payola; just mad love.
