Nicole Licht is a textile artist from Brooklyn, New York. She’s great.
She embroiders a range of subjects, but we love her mainly for her soft sculptures.
The ghosts are terrific – you wouldn’t mind them floating through your hallways! And as for the deer! Just brilliant.
Nicole’s work has been featured at Gallery Hanahou in New York, which looks like a great place if you like your contemporary embroidery. I’d be there all the time if I wasn’t on the other side of the planet.
Go and check out her Flickr stream and her etsy shop and give her the big love she deserves!

Her work is fantastic! I love the wall hangings-the bits of animals and abstract shapes. Also the juxtaposition of the animals like the tiger and wolves done with thread gives them a different meaning. And the stuffed pieces are great becuase it’s like they are from a different time and made with scraps of whatever’s available. Really great. Thanks for sharing.

She’s wonderful. If I had the cash my house would be FILLED with her ghosts. Especially this one – http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=21804950 *love*

Nicole’s work is stunning, I was lucky enough to see her embroidery (the three pieces pictured here) up close at a recent exhibit at Gallery Hanahou.
I just purchased one of her “personal island” pin cushions — can’t wait to get it!

Nicole is one of the most talented artists ever.
I am lucky enough to host some of her creatures & creations here, in my very flat, and I love them to pieces. They are the most beautiful things I own.
Oh ! And, she’s the cutest. She deserves all the very best.
