Wednesday Art Feature: Tracy Chaplin - Gretel Girl

This week, I want to show you the work of the talented Tracy Chaplin, Gretel Girl. Tracy is an Australian based illustrator with a love of fabrics, craft & upcycling.

Not only are Tracy's works beautiful and intricate, but they are so well thought out and presented beautifully. I love how she presents them in embroidery hoops. I think this is such a unique and visually pleasing way to present her work, plus there's no need for frames!


I just adore the way she's drawn the hair in the above photo, not to mention the subtle rosey cheeks and wonderful patterns!
