Once upon a time, embroidery and knitting were perceived as a boring hobby, peculiar only to pensioners and Turgenev girls who are bored at the window waiting for a handsome prince. But at some point, everything changed, and now embroidering, knitting, weaving, in general, needlework, has become a very fashionable and even profitable hobby, as evidenced by the popular online store Etsy, articles about handmade on our website, and the work of a British artist - embroiderers Michala Gyetvaiknown on the Internet under the name Kayla coo … Michala, or rather Kayla Ku, says that since childhood she has been fond of needlework, in particular, embroidery. Living with her parents in a mansion in the small English town of Kenilworth, not far from William Shakespeare's hometown, she loved to spend time in the backyard garden, experimenting with a needle, thread and scraps of old fabric from her mother's stock. The older Kayla got, the more experienced she was with needlework, and in the end, she began to look at the world as if she wanted to reproduce it all with threads on fabric, in any weather and any time of the year.
Well, the beauty of nature and love for the home has always been the best inspiration for a creative person, and Kayla Ku says she is no exception. Green summer and mild English autumn, "crisp" winter and fragrant spring in the town of Warwickshire, where the craftswoman now lives with her husband and two children, still inspire her in textile art. Now Kayla is fascinated by a special kind of creativity: embroidery on felt canvas, which she rolls from multi-colored wool for each new painting, turning pieces of fiber into a very soft abstract background for embroidered paintings.
However, in addition to these paintings, based on her own drawings, Kayla Coo creates felt-embroidered brooches with landscapes and other equally interesting works that often participate in exhibitions of original handmade not only in Great Britain, but also far beyond its borders.
