I'm excited today to share the work of Renilde de Peuter of AT SWIM-TWO-BIRDS. I discovered her work and blog through someone's favorite list on Flikr. I wish I could remember who so I could thank them!

Renilde has been working on a fine art embroidery series called Wormhole that I immediately loved the second I laid eyes upon it.

She also knits, weaves ...

crochets, etc. A jack of all trades, really.

What sets Renilde's work apart to me is a certain raw spirit that comes through in all of her pieces. When someone can take a common craft and tweak it just enough so it creates a distinct and unique style, that is the sign of a true artist. It even comes across in her photographs.

All of her work is perfectly executed (the attention to detail is impressive). But there's that hint of wabi-sabi in her layout and subject matter. And that's what gives it that edge that I love. Recently, she's even started building mobiles.
