Style Imitating Art…
It’s time for another round of Style Imitating Art! A few years ago, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate, either! Shelbee selected our inspiration artwork this week.
How it works…
Here are the details: Every other Monday, one of us will select a piece of art. That is shared via all three co-hosts’ blogs. On the following Monday, all three share their looks on their blogs. If you choose to participate, send a photo to the curator for that particular week. You, as well as the other participants, will be featured on the curator’s post that Wednesday. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! If you decide to play along this time, please send your photo to Shelbee by Tuesday, August 25th at 10:00 pm EST to be included. I hope you will join us! I think this could be the best way to start something new! Remember, you don’t have to be a blogger to be a part of this. You can snap a photo and send it in. We love to have readers join in on the fun, too.
Why…
Shelbee wrote, “For this round, I wanted to go with something neutral so I chose this thread painting by Turkish embroidery artist Sila Gur. This piece is called “Wild & Free” and it’s from her 2024 Boho Series no. 3. I found this artist somewhere on Facebook and I was so intrigued by the detailed shading she creates with her embroidery that I wanted to feature one of her works. Her work is deeply influenced by the boldness of fashion and street style so all of her pieces have a sartorial aspect, making her a fun choice for an SIA challenge. You can find more of her work on her IG page jolly_hoops.”

I love thread paintings and am always amazed what embroiderers can do. A very pretty piece.
