The clever lady behind these magnificent mergers of yee olde worlde embroidery and tragic celebritydom has many strings to her bow other than needlecraft.
raquel welch (different raquel to the 1,000,000 BC/exercise video lady) she's one half of the talented duo behind duke magazine (new issue due out in july i think), and she and her partner in publishing, emily have put together the most amazing tchotchke collection i ever did see. puts my depression-era-hording grandmother to shame: souvenir dolls, squeaky toys in the shape of food, framed pictures of Jordan, china figurines in assorted shapes plus a fine [insert appropriate collective noun] of embroidery hoops.
these beauties are works from an exhibition at chalkhorse gallery from a few months ago. i missed it so i was mighty pleased to get a gander here.
Like these? You might also like Orly Cogan's work.
Stay tuned for the latest addition to the ebays gems category.
They're really cool
