Episode notes
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Michelle Kingdom.
Michelle is a Californian embroidery artist whose wistful work delivers dark delight. Her work is instantly recognisable with its nostalgic style delivering gothic undertones with effortless class. This is the second part of our NeedleXChange and we discover the meaning of plants in Michelle's work, talk about her recent decision to do a portrait piece and explore her favourite cultural touchpoints.
