Having been a cross-stitcher in her younger days, she was swept away by this ‘new’ style of slow stitching early in the 2020 lockdown as she and many others picked up new or old hobbies while in isolation. What started as a peaceful retreat into the world of threads has evolved into a compelling, intricate practice that reflects her fascination with the curious and sometimes macabre.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eFor this particular and peculiar collection, Charlotte used the stark contrast of black thread against white fabric to create the shadows, fine details, and textures from Richard Breton’s 1565 publication Les songes drolatiques de Pantagruel (The Drolatic Dreams of Pantagruel). While there is still speculation regarding the original woodcut artist - was it François Rabelais or François Desprez? - there is no doubt that the 120 fantastical and otherworldly images are a sight to behold. These hand embroidered pieces feature detailed images that are at once haunting and mesmerizing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Kube Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54691164094739,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1938\/7231\/files\/PantagruelNo.67.jpg?v=1788996229","url":"https:\/\/thekube.ca\/products\/knottie-lottie-pantagruel-no-67-embroidery","provider":"The Kube Studios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
