These astounding needlework pieces are by self-taught embroiderer
Trish Burr from Cape Town. She has written several books on the technique, contributed widely to magazines and teaches throughout South Africa and overseas. Trish lives in Cape town, South Africa with her husband and three children.
Trish willingly shares her knowledge with fellow embroiderers, and in her own words she says,
“
We need to keep hand embroidery alive - if we hug our ideas to ourselves, they will become lost and worthless in the future. If I give you a gift, I no longer have it, you do. However, if I give you an idea then we both have it, and if you share this idea with others then we have expanded on it and can watch it grow.”

ReplyDeleteGood morning Veronica,
ReplyDeleteLast posting made Dana and me cry a lot as we watched the story of the dog who was waittig for his master for 10 years! ...It was devastating!!!!
It takes a real madness and passion to make things like those-birds are extremly beautiful and I am glad this art is still alive!!!!
You see,in fact this isn't just a needle painting ,this is a precious EYE painting as by the time ,the eyes are in a great difficulty knowing and understanding how big effort was taken to realize those works of art! Love those beautiful birds and thanks to the one that made them! She is more than a talent....
