I love this collection of cross-stitched metallic objects from This is Colossal.
Gathered from the creations of Lithuanian artist Severija In?irauskait?-Kriaunevi?ien?, they prove that artists can make their craft out of just about anything. The idea is to have people confront handcrafts in unexpected places and ways and to combine hard, metallic, functional objects with somewhat kitchy designs.
If you wanted to try this yourself, you’d have to drill regular holes in the metal and smooth them so they wouldn’t snag the thread or yarn.
The same artist also did a project of adding cross stitch to antique helmets, which are stunning and beautiful.

This is so artful would be nice to open up a business
with design to choose from and the hole done already.
Wow!!! Absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to try something like this.
