Anyone who says “I am not creative” is wrong. Obviously, we all have a creative sense, it is just a matter of honing it to a specific aspect. Giving life to something original that you have created yourself is so rewarding. Fulfilling this is one of the most satisfying feelings you can have in life. Such is the case with embroidery, which is an art game played with a needle and threads. In fact, every culture has some form of it in their textile art history. While embroidery is practiced across the world, its origin stems from China and the Near East.
Until now, embroidery has played a role in decorating and enhancing the beauty of the fabric. It remains one of the top methods of logo apparel decoration for a number of reasons. For instance, keeping your hands busy and engaged in your embroidery keeps your thoughts focused on the enjoyment, beauty and satisfaction of the task at hand. All problems are thus left behind in this realm of peace and calm – it get us through the tough times in life. Additionally, the deeper you progress with your embroidery, the more it challenges you because it provides a sense that there is always more to be discovered.
For this reason, the subreddit r/Embroidery contains various works of embroidery. With 430K members, this online community unites all enthusiasts of the trade who want to exchange tips, strategies, resources, ideas, and to show off their greatest works, of course. So, check out the gallery below. Furthermore, don’t forget to upvote your favorites!
