ARTeries: Pick of the Pops!

For two years, the wonderful Arlee Barr wrote a monthly post on the site, exploring art techniques, theory and practice. They were fascinating articles and we’d like to share a list of some of her earlier posts for you to peruse:

ARTeries – Embroideries of the World: Kantha – Arlee explores ethnic embroidery.
ARTeries – The Influences of Age – Using decomposition and aging effects in your work.
ARTeries – Metal and Lace Music – Working with metal and lace.
ARTeries – Personal Symbolism: Ceci n’est pas une pipe – Symbols and icons in stitch.
ARTEries – The Plastic Arts – Soft Sculpture.
ARTeries – Surface Tension – Exploring surface tension and its implications.

These are fascinating articles for the embroidery artists, thought-provoking and informative. Why not share your favourite techniques with us?
