Embroidery art has been given a contemporary makeover by needle-bearing creatives.

@GISELLEQUINTO Amsterdam-based Brazilian embroidery artist Giselle Quinto uses her art to protest for equality; her passion for tattoos and house plants also shines, and look out for the works with “hair”. @KELLRYAN These colourful and fun pieces by fibre artist, illustrator and designer Kelly Ryan explore her childhood memories, patterns and nature – her floral works are gorgeous, as are those depicting brook trouts. @INKYEMILY

As well as embroidery, this account by US artist Emily Anne Ach features creature-focused pins, prints, jewellery and more. We particularly love her fantastical scenes of fishing cats and knife-wielding crabs.
