What A Racquet

I am constantly blown away by the creative way in which people repurpose things. Who knew that the same vintage tennis and badminton racquet, that I’m always spotting at thrift stores, make for the perfect canvas for embroidery? Danielle Clough did. The South African fiber artist has embroidered a series of colorful flowers on the strings of old racquets. Genius.

    I agree this is a genius example of repurposing! The tulips and the telopea are my favourites.
