Sharon Cohen of
redthread textile art is a Seattle artist who specializes in unique and original hand-stitched art cards. These vibrantly colorful cards combine art papers, fabric, ribbon, felting, recycled quilts, sheet music, maps, photos, beads, threads, vintage buttons, and extraordinary hand-created woven paper. The cards are meticulously stitched, both by machine and by hand with detailed weaving, layering of elements, quilting, embellishment, and signature dangling threads—creating a textured and beautifully-designed piece of art suitable for framing.
A note from an ardent fan: “Thank you for yet another work of art, sometimes called a card. Your cards are really extraordinary; they emanate a certain power that only things made lovingly by hand can have. They’re too special to hide away in the archives. I don’t know if I mentioned it, but any potential biographer of your life should be made aware of the existence of this vast collection I have. Plexiglas display cases on pedestals is really what's needed!" Cards can be purchased at Bellevue Arts Museum Store and Kirkland Arts Center store. You can also purchase cards directly on Etsy.com.
