These Ceramic Vases Have Real Embroidery Stitched Into Them

Embroi­dery and ceram­ics might seem an unlike­ly pair, but as artist Car­o­line Har­rius shows, they are spec­tac­u­lar togeth­er. She’s cur­rent­ly work­ing on a series of vas­es that incor­po­rat­ed thread in their design. She does this by craft­ing the ves­sel and then pok­ing many tiny holes in its sur­face. Once fired, she sews the design by bring­ing the string through those holes. The two cre­ations she’s shared online (so far) fea­ture cross stitch flow­ers and a run­ning style stitch along the entire cir­cum­fer­ence of the vase.

I can’t wait to see how these turn out. Fol­low Car­o­line on Insta­gram to see for yourself.
