In The Abstract

[bloodyrosemccoy]

My mom is inventing a new way to art! Sort of. It’s actually seriously kickass embroidery, but she’s sort of making it up as she goes along, so that counts.

It further counts because we have invented a name for it.

We call it “needlepointilism.”

If there is a better form of arting, I sure as hell don’t know what it is.

What does it look like?

It's a bit tapestry-like. She transferred a reference photo onto a piece of linen and then machine-embroidered over the entire photo. It's got a pointilistic effect, hence our term for it.
