The design of each doily is based on the structure of a different virus. I begin with a digital image of the virus, which I then base a design on in a graphics editor. The design is then imported into computerized embroidery software and the stitches are laid out and manipulated. Finally, the designs are output from a computerized sewing machine.

Elsa Mora is hard at work! She is probably best known for her detailed paper cuts like the one above, but I really enjoyed the execution and arrangement of her porcelain work below also.

She is making lovely work in a variety of mediums, so go have a look!

Although Richard Saja is probably best known for his work unhorsing toile, we were also compelled by his embroidered timepiece for the Make Time for a Green Cause benefit.

According to Saja’s site, “Reading outwards from the center, the numerals are in UPC code, Braille, Postal code and Morse code.”

Saja has done quite a lot of engaging work. If you see him, you should give him a handshake.

Angelo Filomeno uses silk to embroider his work on stretched linen. He got some attention as part of the popular “Pricked: Extreme Embroidery” exhibit earlier this year.

You can see more of his work at the Galerie Lelong.
