I seem to have a major embroidery fetish lately that is perhaps obvious from my posts about Jillian Tamaki and Takashi Iwasaki. In particular, I am mesmerized by embroidered and tactile typography which may have been sparked when I fell in love with the extraordinary talent of Maricor Maricar (read my post about their work here). I had some server issues when attempting to post this feature yesterday which only underlines that in an almost alarmingly digital dependant world, craftsmanship like the examples above feels even more special and vital to the world of design. Hoping you find some handmade type this weekend and it colours you happy!

These embroidered postings are incredible! It is so true that we need to remember how amazing it is to actually feel the fabric and the yarns —–digital is great but the actual craftsmanship is the best! Thank you for another fantastic colour me happy Friday!
These are incredible! What talent!
Thanks for putting together a great embroidery selection in one place! Love the work- Evelin Kasikov is one of my absolute favourite graphic designers who mainly uses embroidery. Love her work.
