Welcome to the first NSFW Saturday post!
Here at Mr X Stitch, we realise that the world of embroidery is changing and a new wave of stitchery artists are producing fantastic works of art using needles and threads. We pride ourselves on seeking out the newest pieces from the freshest stitchers and sharing them with you. And we hope that the works you see on here will inspire you to try new things.
But the world moves forward and the pioneers of contemporary stitching are exploring more exotic topics. Sex, drugs and rock’n'roll are all being featured in stitches these days, and we think it’s a good thing. For any medium to evolve it has to explore the limits of what is possible before finding a natural state within those limits.
So we’re going to help!
WARNING!
NSFW SATURDAYS WILL CONTAIN CONTENT THAT IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK!
IF YOU READ THESE POSTS, AND ARE OFFENDED, WE’RE SORRY BUT WE DID WARN YOU!
Kitty says "Are you sure you want to carry on reading?!"
Each week, NSFW Saturdays will bring you something new from the world of stitch that you wouldn’t necessarily show your grandma.
Things like Boocifer’s triumphant cross stitch sampler, that pretty much covers all the bases, with some really nice finishing.
We aren’t afraid to show a bit of sex. Realistic or unrealistic. If it feels good, we’re gonna do it. Always Inspired reminds us that the Karma Sutra is still on the money.
And yes, we’re not afraid of swear words. Language should never be a barrier – even if it’s filthy. Mooosh takes it to the limit, but with a wicked sense of humour.
And Spamberly helps us address the final frontier. Porn exists. Get over it.
Let’s just set the record straight. We’re not just going for cheap thrills. This is about the evolution of stitching and challenging people’s perceptions. The quality of the work is essential.
And just to prove the point, we leave you with a selection of work that we’ve already featured that sets the standard:
Penny Nickel’s frisky pillowcases.
Rachel McKay stitches Christian Bale’s eloquent expressions.
Mr X Stitch’s Bad Mofo embroidery.
Ruby42′s now legendary lesbian porn.
People, this is history. The world of stitchery just changed. And it changed for the better.
How do you feel?
