Megan Zaniewski (previously featured) is an artist who has mastered the art of bringing embroidery to life with her three-dimensional creations. Utilizing the stumpwork technique, she meticulously crafts intricate designs that rise from the fabric, giving a lifelike presence to her subjects. Her work often features the delicate beauty of winged insects, where she employs thin jewelry wire to sculpt the form of each wing, filling in the shapes with a combination of long and short stitches.
The result is a stunning display of textile art that captures the fragile beauty of nature in a tangible form. Zaniewski’s pieces are not only a testament to her skill but also to her ability to observe and translate the natural world into her distinct embroidery style.
