Insta of the Week: Embroidered Tennis Rackets by Fiance_Knowles

Beyond her decidedly-winning Instagram handle, @fiance_knowles, a.k.a., Danielle Clough has been a pleasant presence on our instagram feeds for several weeks now. We were delighted to wake up to brand new embroidered badminton rackets from the South African artist, that depicting a vibrant aloe plant. She’s done tulips, roses, and myriad of other flowers, but the humble and practical succulent species seems to jump from the “canvas” of crisscrossing wires. She’s also seemingly titled the works What a Racket, truly crowning her the Master of Puns. Enjoy a few more examples of her work in the Instagram embeds below.
 

And an embroidered Steve Zissou for good measure:
