Embroidery on Paper

Patricia Zapata of A Little Hut had this arresting and lovely image of how she incorporates embroider on paper. It makes me think of hardanger or cutwork embroidery. Patricia says:

The paper embroidery examples I've seen so far are either geometric or illustrative. I wanted to try something a bit more organic and abstract. I hope to be able to finish this so it's suitable for framing (I already have the spot for it) but I've also decided that I'm going to take my sweet time with it.

More Fence Embroidery

Who did this? It was spied on Brick Lane in London and posted to Flickr. I see a heart, a comma and is that an "LOL"? -Oh, it says "act". I see that now! And, I agree.

UPDATE: Seleena kindly wrote in with what she believes is a link to the artist (thank you!).

Map Quilts

Emily Fischer of Haptic Lab makes map quilts by turning the quilting stitches into lines of existing streets, highways, byways and neighborhoods. Reminds me of sashiko, the traditional Japanese method of hand-quilting.
