I don’t know about you, but I am not a flashy dresser. Most of my clothes are black, blues, and muted pink tones; I mostly stay away from wild prints. Where I have some fun, though, is in artsy accessories that accent my otherwise plain ensembles. Fistashka Art is one maker ensuring that we can show off our creative side. The Russian artist creates embroidered brooches that feature a thread painting technique to stitch portraits of plants, animals, and iconic artists. Each uses a single stitch like a brush stroke to build color and form—often on top of detailed underpaintings.
