I can tell you that part of what has been occupying my time is that I have been directing a production of Henry V for high school students. The show went up at the beginning of the month, and my kids were amazing! It's traditional for the cast to chip in and get a gift for the director. In this case, my stage manager (and fellow stitcher) gave me a piece of embroidered art! She stitched the names of all of the cast members on linen next to a bunny. I believe the bunny is a reference to our favorite group game we would play for energy. DON'T LOOK IT UP. It will get in your head and never leave. Anyway, I nearly cried when she presented it to me in front of the cast.
People are finding so many inventive ways to use embroidery--even animation! One duo used embroidery to create an animated music video of "Chad Gadya," the song that traditionally closes the Passover seder.
Sure, it's machine embroidery, but I can forgive them because it looks awesome. You can read more about their process on this blog.
What are you using embroidery for today?
It really is awesome. You are doing excellent job in the field of embroidery.
