SEWING ILLUSTRATION

I spotted this beautiful art work while browsing the Martha Stewart Living website June 2010 edition. It is done an artist named Miyuki Sakai. She created all her illustrations using nothing but sewing machine.

For the issue, she created beautiful floral plate illustration. Simply delicious.

Imagine the patience, skill and overall awesomeness of this artist? Miyuki lives in San Francisco but grew up in Osaka, Japan where she observed her mother making clothes for the family from a very early age. After attending art school in Kyoto, she moved to Tokyo to pursue a freelance career and then relocated to San Francisco where she currently lives and works.

Here are some of my fave illustrations:
