As parents and school teachers taught us in childhood: everything should have its own place and purpose. Therefore, you need to eat the soup with a spoon, cut the sausage with a knife, and prick the cutlet on a fork. The same people who did everything differently were called strange. But if you put these oddities in the right direction, you can get very interesting results, like an artist Catherine McEver, which does not embroider on fabric, but on rye toes. Multicolored threads and a thick needle, as well as a couple of loaves of sliced bread, as well as a moment of inspiration, lead to the fact that the bread turns into linens for unpretentious embroidered pictures. Whether it's floral ornaments, or fragments of famous paintings, or even a fleeting fantasy in the form of the sky, sea, clouds, or fish between algae.
On the one hand, it is a waste of time, as cynics and critics might react. On the other hand, it is a kind of self-expression, an attempt to make this world better, more colorful and diverse in its own way. And also - the author's way to lose weight - if you do not smear the toasts with jam, butter or ketchup, but cover them with multi-colored stitches, much less calories will get inside, which cannot but please the fair sex.
It remains a mystery how long and where exactly the artist keeps the pieces of embroidered bread. However, she assures that in the collection of these boring toasts there are several works made five years ago, and they look "like new".

What they wrote about in women's magazines of pre-revolutionary Russia: Fashion, needlework and not only
The history of fashionable gloss began in 1672, when the first magazine for women, Mercure galant ("Gallant Mercury"), was published in France. It published literary novelties, talked about social events, offered ladies fashionable images with engravings and recommendations for choosing clothes for different occasions. In Russia, ladies' periodicals appeared only in the 70s of the 18th century
Boring wheelchair? Not the designers
It is generally accepted that all people with disabilities are dejected people who have resigned themselves to their misfortune and do not see anything bright and pleasant in life. Not all of us think so, but quite a few. What is left for disabled people, how not to break stereotypes?

Needlework against gloss: original embroidery by Inge Jacobsen
Ordinary photographs in glossy magazines often lack something. Many people do not like lean mines on the same faces of models that seem to be stamped on the same assembly line. Therefore, craftsmen try to put their soul into the images, add something like that to the pictures - at least add a mustache. Student Inge Jacobsen acts differently: the girl uses the covers of fashion magazines as a pattern for embroidery and as a material at the same time. I wonder what the needlewoman wants to express with the help of origins
Hair Embroidery. Hair embroidery of Zaira Pulido (Zaira Pulido)
So, the finest hour has come for those girls who did not shy away from needlework lessons at school and listened carefully to their mother or grandmother, who taught knitting and embroidery to "their clever girl." It is fashionable to embroider and knit nowadays, and not only fashionable, but also profitable, especially if the needlewoman has golden hands and her imagination is in order. So, the other day we talked about how the Japanese artist Miyuki Sakai embroiders illustrations on a sewing machine, and today we will tell you about the unusual portraits that you embroider
