Product Story #MarchMeetTheMaker A frequent question, I am asked about my embroidery art, is how to stitch on a transparent textile. I embroider on synthetic organza and integrate a hidden white layer, which stabilizes the organza and I can use to sketch the portrait on. #embroidery #art #artsky

Favorite Collection #MarchMeetTheMaker My favorite collection is my ‘artists‘ collection, with Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh, René Magritte and John Lennon. Dreaming what it would be like to meet them in today’s world. #embroidery #fridakahlo #vangogh #renémagritte #johnlennon #art #portrait

Where #MarchMeetTheMaker My home is a little Mediterranean Island called Malta, located in the very South of Europe. In a year we have at least 300 days of sunshine and approximately 365 churches on this beautiful little rock, one to visit each day of year. #handembroidery #malta #embroidery #art

Workspace #MarchMeetTheMaker No studio, no quiet nook, no allocated workspace. Just anywhere, in a chair, behind a desk, on the terrace, outside at the beach. #embroidery #handembroidery #beach #art #portrait

Detail #MarchMeetTheMaker Sharing a detail of an embroidery portrait and my most favorite part to embroider. I love how just a few stitches complete an eye. #eye #embroidery #handembroidery #art #threadpainting #stitching

Aim #MarchMeetTheMaker My aim is to be less shy about my art and to give old threads a new life. Is it working? #portrait #embroidery #handembroidery #astronaut

Tools & Materials #MarchMeetTheMaker What I love about embroidery, the tools and materials are small. It feels like endless threads, most of them handed down by family. Once used for a floral stitch on a table cloth, now used for thread painting. #eye #threads #embroidery #handembroidery #bordado

Decision #MarchMeetTheMaker Once I am halfway with an embroidery project, everything comes natural. But I struggle to start with a new hoop. There is always the easy decision of leaving it for the next day or the next week… #embroidery #handembroidery #bordado #threadpainting #art #portrait #eyes

Scenes #MarchMeetTheMaker To finalise my hoop portraits I like to stage them and turn them into my #embroidery people. Creating scenes, where #renemagritte with his bowler hat blows a surreal goldfish bubble for instance. Or where #vangogh is in the forest listening to music… #handembroidery #art

Style #MarchMeetTheMaker A distinctive style develops after time, even if I try to create a new look and feel for each portrait. For me a new project is always a fresh start and my style just blends in naturally. #embroidery #handembroidery #portrait #art
