40 People Who Broke The Internet With Their Epic Art Of Embroidery
These individuals are incredibly talented, and I can't even thread a needle.
Not many people have the patience to sit in a comfy chair and do some embroidery, and those of us who truly take the time to master the art must be exceptionally talented!
Although embroidery was popular in the past, it has made a comeback, and many people across the world have begun sharing their masterpieces online. Embroidery doesn't just have to be a stunning piece of art.
It can also be cheeky or creepy (like the extremely disturbing Chucky doll). Either way, embroidery has always been a part of our family.
It was in the year 1900 when people realized that embroidery wasn't only for the upper class and that everyone could try their hand at it and use their skills to advance further if they wished. However, with the fast-paced lives we lead today, we thought that many people had given up embroidery and moved on to other pursuits.
We were wrong and pleasantly surprised!
It's rare to find someone with a passion for creating art with threads, hoops, seam rippers, and beading needles. But we're fortunate to come across not just one, but 40 different people with an unending love for embroidery!
What you're about to see is going to blow your mind, so buckle up!
