i’m jealous of emily barletta… again

Ok, I was already jealous of New York based artist Emily Barletta when I wrote about her fibre art sculptures almost two years ago… and then, yesterday, I saw her most recent work. Sigh. Yep, it’s safe to say that these gorgeous embroidery on paper pieces have officially pushed me over the edge. So. Much. Love!

    I saw this amazing embroidery on Pinterest and would like to learn Emily Barletta’s embroidery process. I am currently starting a series that incorporates sewing on dictionary paper and want to learn how to do it on watercolour paper. Is there any way to get the information? Looking forward to all the inspiration.
