Miniature embroidered portraits by Danielle Clough

We’ve previously featured artist Danielle Clough’s embroidered tennis rackets, and we’re glad to see she’s back with her weapons of choice – a needle and thread – in her latest work: a series of hand-stitched miniature portraits made with stunning bolts of bold colors.

The miniature portraits will grace the cover and pages of the book Queer Africa II, a publication celebrating stories of love in the African region. See more of her Clough’s work here, or follow her on Instagram.
