Sea Inspired

Escape to the seas with these enchanting embroideries by Oh My Cavalier! I love to see an artist merge traditional textile techniques with a modern sense of style. The results are beautiful and tend to have such a rich quality. These embroideries also tell a story and evoke a sense of adventure with pirates and mysterious sea lore. Ever since I saw these pieces I can't get them out of my imagination...which is a good thing!

After checking out Oh My Cavalier! be sure to also visit Julianna's inspiring Etsy shop and blog.

These are very fun, a fresh spin on a vintage craft. And I have to say I love her shop name -- for some reason just seeing "Oh My Cavalier!" makes me smile.

WOW! These are incredible. I don't believe I have ever seen such marine life captured through embroidery. You are totally right about the story and movement each piece captures.

Josephine said...

the embroidery really captures the movement of sea creatures so beautifully (not that i'm an expert on sea life).

Valerie Rojas Braverman said...

oh how i love embroideries! i used to try to do them when i was little, but ran out of patience half the time. anyhow, that last one is so detailed, it's amazing! really shows off the beauty and life of the sea.

Ohh yes, so true, they are enchanting embroideries. I too love but when making I can't. Let me share your post with my mom, as she's living with embroiders and will be pleased to see this and Julianna's works.
Big big thanks carissima Di for bringing this post. Hope spring there in NC and warms up you:)

Such astonishing detail in those pieces - especially the squid one!

I love it!!! I did a set of pillow cases for my friend last year,with diagrams of parasites to one side. (she is an entomologist) I wish I had time to do more!
