Karen Nicol is a textile designer and artist specializing in embroidery. She is the winner of the "Beryl Dean Award for Teaching Excellence 2014" as presented by the The Embroiderers' Guild, Beryl Dean Awards Committee, and the Worshipful Company of Broderers of the United Kingdom. In this video Karen talks about her career and how she approaches her art. Her creations are not what you'd think of as everyday embroidery.
 
There are so many varieties of embroidery and we've learned about many of them here at TQS. Star Members can watch shows featuring:
 
  • Sarah Vedeler (Show 904) who uses technology and digitizing for amazing results.
  • Wendy Grande (Show 813) who demonstrates silk-ribbon embroidery.
  • Laura Gaskin (Show 1712) who uses nature as inspiration for intricate, hand-embroidered pieces.

Terrific piece. I've seen her animal embroideries in British magazines. It's great to finally "meet" the artist.

Stunning work. I love to learn about all kinds of art and TQS, always deliver. A well deserved win for Karen. ( My uncle in England went to school with Betty Jackson) Thank you for sharing. Xo
