Modern Embroidered Portraits Expertly Stitched From Original Illustrations

A post shared by sol kesseler (@bugambilo) on

Argentinian textile artist Sol Kessler creates really beautiful embroidered pieces that originate with her own hand drawn illustrations. The image is then outlined in black thread, before Kessler adds color, texture and shade with a variety of threads and yarns. The effect is both traditional and modern at the same time. Kessler also offers embroidery classes at her Buenos Aires studio.
