ORLY COGAN
“Orly Cogan’s work ranges from two-dimensional wall pieces to installations and photography, exploring the conventions of femininity through stitching into vintage fabrics. Her pieces are like pages of a sketchbook full of drawings which Cogan explores through more contrived compositions verging on fantasy. Embroidered female forms interact with each other and discreet objects, exploring feminine archetypes such as the Madonna/whore, the femme fatale and the beauty queen. Cogan plays with feminine sexuality and perspective, allegorical and abject in her narrative.”

These are great, (even if they are a bit rude) I love some of the simple stitching used.

A clever little bee over at Flossbox has taken some beautiful photos of different kinds of embroidery stitching. How lovely! I can’t wait to get into some embroidery and try these out.
