Inspired by Jose Romussi....

Sometimes you are scrolling along the endless feed of pinterest & get stopped dead in your interwed tracks, like when I came across Jose Romussi's embroidered vintage ballerinas & collages. I love how painterly these embroidery are through simple but exact stitches, color & movement. Also, who doesn't love a man who embroiders?

All images courtesy of the artist. Lots more work to check out by Romussi on his flickr & his site.
