Hand-Embroidered Vintage Portrait – Pink Threaded Beauty Parlor

Description

This mixed-media textile artwork reimagines a vintage black-and-white photograph through hand embroidery and dimensional threadwork. The original image is delicately transformed with a sculptural pink hat, complete with loose trailing threads, and a softly stitched dress that brings warmth and tactility to the muted scene.

The embroidery disrupts the stillness of the photograph, introducing movement, texture, and a sense of quiet inner life. A moment of domestic calm—reading beside a loyal companion—is elevated into something subtly uncanny, balancing nostalgia with contemporary fiber art sensibility.

Each stitch is placed by hand, making this piece entirely one of a kind.
