Textile arts are a wonderful, magical kind of art that combines many different ways of working with cloth: embroidery, applique, painting, felting, crocheting, and patchwork. Here you can use yarn, lace, beads, sequins.

Textile arts are crazy creativity that has no limits. All you need is your unbridled imagination and necessary materials, I am sure, if you search well, every knitter and (or) sewer can find them.

The process of creating these works is incredibly fascinating. Hard and long work justifies the long wait: from the chaos of everyday pieces and laces a fabulous thing appears and you can endlessly look at it. Different textures, different lines, flowing from one to another, quite unexpected effects thanks to the use of various techniques...

We hope that this selection will inspire you as well as it inspired me, and will certainly stimulate interesting ideas. Here are the works of 9 talented artists of textile arts, each of them has their own special style, but all of them have one thing in common — a passionate love for working with fabric and thread.
