Who Needs a Pencil When You’ve Got Thread?

Julie Van Wezemael

Julie Van Weze­mael is an illus­tra­tor based in Ghent, Bel­gium, and she com­bines paint­ing and embroi­dery in her exquis­ite works. The use of thread is often sub­tle; here, you can see that it takes the place of lines that would nor­mal­ly be drawn with a pen or pen­cil. I like the tex­ture it cre­ates, and it adds an unex­pect­ed twist to her land­scape scenes.
