My Accurately-Embroidered Models Of Humans And Animals (New Pics)
Forget florals. Embroidery first came to life for me when I realized I could use it to replicate the human body.
Nothing is as fascinating, exciting, and challenging as human anatomy and single-stranded stitches are perfect for accurately rendering its colors and textures. In fact, in each of my specialist pieces, I only ever use satin stitch, split stitch, French knots, and couching, all basic stitches in embroidery!
I started stitching after having extensive facial surgery which you can read about in my previous post. You can also check out some of my earlier anatomical pieces and find out how I stitch them. Scroll down, though, to see my latest pieces, some of which have already been bought by medics and surgeons across the world.

A Heart
Hand-embroidered lungs on a 10-inch hoop
Each piece contains many shades of the same color
False color brings pieces to life and defines specific parts of the anatomy
Anatomical embroidered eyeball
Esophagus and a stomach
Larynx
Ear canal
My rendering of a brain stem was bought as a gift for a neuroscientist
An ulcerated colon
This hand was created on a six-inch hoop with only two types of stitches
Breast
Uterus
My piece of the female urinary system. Took almost 70 hours
I study and dissect organs to help me recreate textures. Yellow French knots are perfect for body fat!
I also do muscle systems
This piece was commissioned by a vet and took three months to complete
Choosing the correct shades as well as stitch direction is tricky, but worth it

I thought I was a half-decent embroiderer, but this is something else entirely!
I'm a retired nurse and I would love to have any and/or all of these! The details are phenomenal, the accuracy is superb, the textures bring it to the extraordinary! I cannot compliment these enough!
these are absolutely amazing, freehand embroidery is like wizardry to me anyway but the way you blend the colors is phenomenal!
Thank you so much! If it's any help there is always a point during each piece when I think I have ruined the whole thing. The trick is to have faith and work through it until it comes good.
