💙 Blue Lady (2022) by Nancy Lemke

What started as a chicken… became something entirely different.

By simply turning the canvas, Nancy discovered a hidden figure—a woman waiting to emerge. She followed that instinct, cutting, layering, and stitching her into life using fabric, antique doilies, beads, and more.

Materials: canvas, acrylic, fabric, buttons, turquoise beads

Techniques: painting, hand + machine stitching, appliqué, embellishment
A reminder that art evolves when you let it. ✨

TO GIVE FORM (2025)
@badiabibiana — Tijuana, Mexico

A conversation across generations.
An original drawing by Zulema Ruiz becomes the foundation.
Embroidery becomes the response.

Each stitch holds presence, healing, and memory—transforming the work into a shared language of intimacy and repair.

Materials: Fabric, embroidery, wood
Technique: Assemblage
