Another Monday — Needlepoint and Friends Part Two

Just about the last nice day in October where the sun is bright, air is warm, and breeze doesn’t knock you over with its enthusiasm.

I love the precision of needlework and the intricacy of fiberwork. The ability to concentrate on minute details is something I find amazing. The skill, the patience, all makes for amazing work. Let’s visit a few more talented artists….

Looking Back on Monday — Needlepoint and Friends Part One

A lovely day for just about anything you’d like to go, any place you’d like to wander! 

How about we take a wander back through some of my Needlepoint and Friends Galleries? I mean — a stitch in time makes nine — whatever that means — a stitch back in time makes for eleven great Galleries!!

Sunday Evening Art Gallery — ​Justyna Wołodkiewicz

 

Justyna Wołodkiewicz is a Contemporary Embroidery Artist from Poland who specializes in three-dimensional embroidery.

Taking inspiration from her surroundings as well as a strong awareness of her own creative process, Wołodkiewicz uses vibrant colors and breadth of contrasting textures and shapes to create finished pieces that are both technically complicated and incredibly whimsical. She specializes in combining tiny abstract sculptures (made of bright colored polymer clay)  with traditional art of stitching by hand.The clay is baked in the oven before implementing.Then everything is composed: threads, sculptures, colors, textures.When Wołodkiewicz designs her art she feels like all these candies are dancing in her circle.Her choices are intuitive and spontaneous, a subconscious translation of bouquets of feelings.Some pieces follow the harmony rules, resembling splashed rainbows; others are footprints of exploration into conflict and ambivalence.“Since the art lives in my heart, it will evolve together with me,” Wołodkiewicz says.“The message will become clearer and clearer. Therefore I love to explore constantly realms of spirituality, energy and self-healing.”More of ​Justyna Wołodkiewicz‘s amazing embroidery can be found at http://nibyniebo.com/.
