erik speer

a background in marine biology? you don't say! here's erik speer 

lesley richmond

 i'm not superconvinced that i'm overly into these but the more i look at them the more i find myself beguiled. fearsome amounts of attention to detail by lesley richmond

leather scrap kimono

 

came across this via spoon and tamago. sublime. 

bisa butler

when you read about bisa butler you read about african/brightly coloured fabric. which, to me, just feels a bit racist, a bit misogynistic. what she is, is a textile artist, who describes herself as a storyteller, who breathes life and colour into pictures of long forgotten african americans and in doing so makes her art both contemporary and political, as well as being really accomplished in her craft. that's art for me.

chiharu shiota

chiharu shiota defies categorisation. follow the link and just look at her stuff. amazing

jacob hashimoto

tricky to see this image of jacob hashimoto but worth a closer look for the textures and space it occupies

gordana brelih

i have far too little quilting on here and looking at gordana brelih i'm reminded again of the massive skill and imagination that goes into one of these

louise richardson

i straight up adore louise richardson's work. and not just because i have no clue how to do it. there's just something about all that texture and structure that's deeply satisfying

hinke schreuders

 having a bit of a run of portraiture so here's hinke schreuders

gabriele meyer

gabriele meyer is a professor of mathematics who likes to crochet hyperbolic forms in her down time. if that's not art i don't know what is!

nava lubelski

big splashes of paint, bold use of thread. nava lubelski - what's not to like?

ruth rae

 i look at ruth rae's work and i fell, yes! more of of this sort of thing!

erling gustaffson

i can't remember how i stumbled across erling gustaffson but i'm glad i did as i find his work uniformly lovely. i also admire his commitment to handcrafting his materials both in paper and textile

sabatina leccia

you've got to love the embroidery of sabatina leccia - there's also a nice wee vid in the link about her process

helen terry

you can't be about browsing textile art and not find yourself tripping over helen terry. and with good reason. she has to be, in my opinion, one of the best working british artists today.

christine mauersberger

it' be easy to look at a couple of images by christine mauersberger and pigeonhole her as just another textile artist. that would be a mistake. some really interesting work and ideas going on here

karen kamenetsky

textile biological art. smash! karen kamenetsky has me right there!

jay briggs

it strikes me i can't recall any millinery posts on here. so here's jay briggs. great pics, sublime headwear

amparo de la sota

i'd tell you more about amparo de la sota but my spanish just isn't up to it. beautiful textile work

silvia muzzarelli

silvia muzzarelli, about whom there is very little information but whose work is all over pinterest is really pushing the boundaries of textile, particularly quiltmaking. have a search - be inspired!
