Dis­guis­es are at the heart of embroi­dery art by Amy Jones, aka Cheese Before Bed­time. Her metic­u­lous stitched hoops are of peo­ple wear­ing ani­mal masks, tails, and but­ter­fly wings. Pre­vi­ous­ly, I shared her embroi­deries fea­tur­ing por­traits of folks wear­ing dis­guis­es on their face. Amy’s lat­est series expands on this idea. Called Gar­den Par­ty, it was inspired by her chil­dren want­i­ng “some­thing a bit spe­cial” for their rooms. The imagery revolves around chil­dren who, in typ­i­cal kid fash­ion, are total­ly rock­ing fan­tas­ti­cal ensem­bles adults (like me) could nev­er pull off.

The Gar­den Par­ty hoops can be bought indi­vid­u­al­ly; but since it’s a cel­e­bra­tion and all, they real­ly deserve to appear togeth­er. You can get the entire gang in the Cheese Before Bed­time Etsy shop. Fol­low Amy on Insta­gram to see what embroi­dery art she’s stitch­ing up next.
