If you’ve read Brown Paper Bag for a while, you’ve like­ly seen me mar­vel over the work of Helen Wilde, aka @ovobloom. The tex­tile artist has cre­at­ed a new series of works that pair chunky stitch­ing with thick appli­ca­tions of paint. Although total­ly dif­fer­ent medi­ums, the two com­ple­ment each oth­er well; each con­veys a sense of move­ment and tex­ture to cre­ate the feel of a field (or bou­quet) of florals.
