Fiber Talk with Amanda Cobbett

Mushrooms by Amanda Cobbett.

Joining us this week is Amanda Cobbett of Embroidered Nature. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Amanda Cobbett is a needlework artist who creates realistic looking mushrooms and other fungi out of thread and paper mâché. The realistic art she creates is absolutely stunning and unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Join us to learn about her research, collecting methods, and how she taught herself to re-create nature with her hands and sewing machine. Be sure to visit Amanda’s website to view the videos that show her art-making skills in action.–Gary
