Honestly, I was somewhat disappointed with this book. The stunning cover and lovely works inside were pleasant to flip through but the written content didn’t really express- well- anything. It really felt like a book of Instagram captions which is fine, but not the in-depth artistic thought process that I had expected after reading the introduction.
Embroidered Life, by Sara Barnes, follows the craft of embroidery as practiced by Sarah K. Benning. And it is the ultimate craft inspo!

With excellent visuals and text, this book provides an overview of the artist's current and evolving practice. As a response to plagiarism, she now sells designs online and provides direct instruction. Recommended for anyone who buys or sells on etsy.
This is the most beautiful book I have ever read/looked at and I want to live in it.
Great look into the modernization of hand embroidery and how fiber art is seeing a resurgence.
It was so inspirational. Reading Sarah's journey in her embroidery work was fascinating. This short book gives you a good "behind scenes" of her work!
