Amelia Harnas has always been an artist and her website claims that she was born with a blue and white sticker on her forehead proclaiming: Future Artist. Well, it is not so hard to believe as she has created something very unusual but very creative!

At your left, you will see a beautiful shaded embroidered portrait of a lady. This meticulous shading is a result of wax resist and repeated wine stains on white cotton or paper canvases. I absolutely salute her ability to have control over the amount of wine to be poured. Not only that, then she embroiders a particular area of the portrait to make it look more effective.

Have a look at some of the best creations of this series and also, get to know..how does she do it:

"My equipment is rather crude, melting dead candle remnants in a coffee can over a propane grill or stovetop & painting the wax resist with a kiddie bristle brush. The first stains are made with a $10 bottle of French Cahors, but subsequent stains will feature Finger Lakes reds chosen for deep color and lowest residual sugars."
