Metal objects that have been sitting outside for a while tend to get pitted, rusty and full of holes, and soon becomes a useless artifact.
Artist Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė has figured out a very interesting way to give new life to these otherwise useless metal objects- she embroiders delicate flower designs into them, bringing the soft arts and hard metal together in a delightfully colorful manner.
The Lithuanian artist was inspired to create these unconventionally traditional embroidered works by her country's rich craft history, using traditional floral motifs on mostly weathered metal objects and rendering these objects useless for anything but artistic enjoyment.
