This week’s Fiber Talk guest is embroidery artist Alexandrina Dordea. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and the EGA Sampler U, at egausa.org. Alexandrina is a self-taught Romanian artist who uses tambour embroidery, stump work, goldwork, beadwork, and punch needle techniques to create outstanding needle art. Her current interest is creating insects, realistic and artistic, and, much to the chagrin of entomologists, some with eight legs. Anatomy aside, the end result is eye-popping needlework. In the conversation, we learn about her needlework journey, her design process, and have no luck learning what will follow her insect phase. Several of her designs, insect and otherwise, are available from her Etsy shop and she’s an artist you need to follow, either on Instagram or Facebook. While you’re online, join the EGA and register for the EGA National Seminar and Sampler U.–Gary
