I just found these (https://www.boredpanda.com/embroidery-landscapes-thread-sew-beautiful/?utm_source=uno&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=jamal) and thought they were amazing!

Amazeballs. Truly works of art
-
It's art because they are all different and all hand made. 0_0
Some lovely pieces of work there.

Lovely. Thanks @wrenkins . Now I want to improve my French Knots. Must not get distracted.....
-
@wrenkins They are all so beautiful, I was smiling at all of them. Thanks for sharing :)
-
Art or embroidery?
>< ;)
Those are all lovely.
-
Not my cup of tea but they are beautifully done.

Wowzer!! I wonder if she'd like to come and finish my Starry Night???

I've been embroidering since I was a child, maybe eight or nine and I can't do French knots. I have followed every tute and instruction and nope! :headbang:
I like the Monet stylee ones and the bee and the church...and some of the others....
-
My French knots are very hit and miss
-
I can remember a time when I used to get a fad for doing something after seeing it done really well. Unfortunately embroidery was one of many things discarded because it was okay but not brilliant.

Those are beautiful. My mum used to do similar stuff and I have a couple of them.

The things that defeat us... I love French knots. Did a project once that involved hundreds, if not thousands of the things. Nice texture.
BUT! In fifty years of sewing, I have yet to put in a zipper that I am not ashamed of.

The Monet #9 is the best of all.....more attractive colours...the rest are too vibrant for me....as for whether art or embroidery....for me it is both!
-
Whatever they are, they are amazing. Not my cup of tea really but very very skilled - those french knots are incredible!
-
Why art OR embroidery? They’re not mutually exclusive options and I’d say these are both.
-
Wow, they are incredible. It's made me want to have a go but I'm not sure if I could remember how to do all the stitches now as I haven't done any for more years than I even want to think about :o
-
I'll admit that some of the subject matter is not my cup of tea, but that doesn't detract from the stitching skill whatsoever! I have, after a long time managed to perfect a french knot that isn't a bunch of loops, and can do a bullion knot that doesn't look like maggots!

In reply to your question" Embroidery an art form"?
This is only my humble view.
It is all to do with taste and if it captures someone.
It is not so much the embroidery itself but " how it is done".
Its not what you do its how you do it la la la la.
If it is executed in such a way that it creates " an idea" and something to think about and also comunicates something to us then " yes" it is Art.
But that said , the process itself is an art form.
To describe Art is very subjective.
It's how we see it?
If what we see can be interpreted in a number of ways with our imagination then I think that constitutes Art.

Hello-
To be honest, and as a professional stage artist and composer, I really do not understand the question - this or that. Obviously the subject is embroidery, but is it not art as well?
Without delving into the questions of 'what is art' etc., They are worked by someone who obviously has a mastery of their art and they evoke a feeling - What else is 'art'?

@wrenkins, great find, really beautiful work (of art)....I'm partial to French Knots and will get some inspiration from these...love the use of colour as well.

This is art, the time taken to produce such delicate work. I'm a little impatient
