We are just loving Breeyn’s unique work. Using a method of embroidery called tambour she builds embellishments onto mesh that jumps off the “hoop” at you.
Tambour embroidery is a traditional technique that utilizes a specialist tool called the tambour hook. This tool is used to quickly create a basic chain stitch and can be very versatile when applying different embellishments, such as beads, sequins, feathers, etc.
With this technique Breeyn builds up three dimensional imagery that is often dark, definitely whimsical, and connects with story, myth, and symbolism.
