Emily Botelho's stunning abstract embroideries are a testament to her talent and creativity. Her first book, "Abstract Embroidery: 12 Beautiful Projects Inspired by Coastal, Mountain, and Urban Environments," showcases her unique approach to the craft. Through a series of beautiful projects, she guides the reader through her creative process, from finding inspiration to creating bespoke fabric backgrounds and embellishing each embroidery with a diverse range of stitches, beads, and found items.

One of the key elements of Emily's work is her use of intuitive, slow stitching and a vibrant palette. She draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, including mossy rocks, peeling paint, and even the textures of everyday objects. This results in completely unique pieces that capture a moment in time.

The book is filled with sumptuous photographs, creative insights, and helpful advice, making it an invaluable resource for creative embroiderers of all abilities.

Each piece created by Emily is unique, reflecting the individuality and creativity of the artist. Her downloadable textures are available on Bookmarked Hub, providing further inspiration and resources for those who wish to explore the world of abstract embroidery.
