BEAUTY: Fabric Art--Salt Stitches

Mancusian fabric artist Emily Botelho creates magical hoop embroidery pieces based on sea shore life. She takes frequent trips to the ocean where she photographs rocks covered with lichen, moss, algae, seaweed, and shells. She then prints these images onto fabric and embellishes them with embroidery, beads, tufts, semi-precious stones, and real shells. The results are deliciously textured gems.
