Chatting with Theresa Lawson of The Monsters Lounge is always a treat, as is her gorgeous needlework! From 3D stumpwork, to fantastically detailed house portraits, to a beautiful how-to embroidery book that’d be at home on any stitcher’s coffee table, we explore the mind and art of the artist behind The Monsters Lounge and her book, Hand-Stitched House…
How did you first get into embroidery arts?
I’ve always been drawn to the visual arts but never really very good at it. When Iyou get. I’m also really attracted to the way you can build structural art out of needle and thread. Embroidery can just as easily be a 3D sculpture as it can a beautiful piece of wall art.
