cross-stitching isn't just for nans...

Severija Incirauskaite, a lithuanian textile artist/designer uses a clever technique of mixing two very contrasting materials: metal and thread. the marriage of these two materials actually fit together perfectly in a very feminine and delicate way. once again, i'm captivated by intricate details in her pattern work.

“Way of roses is an expression about successful life. However I read it literally, eliminating figurative positive meaning from this phrase. Embroidered cars rather tell us about dangers facing on the road which are reminded to us by silent flower wreaths often standing by the roadside. The problem is still very hot – tv and newspapers are full of „war on the road“ topics everyday. Furthermore this work is a textile version of peculiar „tuning“ as functional design. That is the way I understand means by which a woman can decorate her car. It differs from widespread, commonly projecting an aggressive image autotuning of men.”
