What Natasia Embroidery Does
Fine Art in a Fine Medium
Choosing a medium for art expression is a very personal choice. I didn't actually choose embroidery at first, I began in sculpture and ceramics. While creating art, I worked as a seamstress and tailor for many years, then acquired a used embroidery machine just to add to my sewing portfolio.​
​
Then 2020 happened.
​
I spent 2020 using my new (to me) industrial embroidery machines to make fitted masks, designed to be worn with glasses and fitted to the face. I added designs for kids and logos for businesses, and got a crash course in machine embroidery during this time. By the end of 2021, I was pushing the limits of my 21 inch hoop, making larger and larger tapestries based on my own are and my fan art.
In 2022, I began selling my art at Ren Faires, and now I design and sell at faires, conventions, and on Etsy.
​
I am stepping away from fan art now and moving towards exclusively original artwork. I also take commissions for larger and artistic embroidery, particularly tapestries and "bookmarks." I look forward to continuing to master this art, pushing it to fine art level, and expressing my art and my thoughts in thread.
