Projects
Some ideas don’t stop at one or two pieces — they grow into full, thoughtful long-term projects, sometimes solo, sometimes in collaboration with other artists. Here are a few of them.
​
More about each project — coming soon!
Visible / invisible mending
In addition to embroidery, I repair clothing. From my experience, the second life of things is often cooler. They still have the vibe of the clothes you liked at first glance, but they've become much cozier and more interesting because of the patches or embroidery. And of course it costs much less than buying a new clothes!​
Custom embroidery of children’s drawings
I’ve been embroidering children’s drawings for over five years, and during this time I’ve created dozens of truly meaningful works. I believe that children see the world in the most honest and precise way, so I’m always glad when you wants to keep a piece of that art for years to come.​
THINGS
This project is a collaboration between two artists. Anya Shchetvina captures your portrait in a simple line drawing, and Maria Kostyleva brings it to life through embroidery on a patch that you can use as you wish: decorate your wall, adorn your jacket, or add a unique touch by sewing a pocket to your favorite tote bag.
Leftover
Leftover is a slow-fashion project that renews clothes with leftover threads from my embroideries
