“I love to draw, I love food, so I thought why not try using thread as a medium and combine the things I love and am interested in?” she explained in an interview with Dark Yellow Dot.

When it comes to the creative process itself, Avery has it down to a science: “I have developed a process that I know works for me in my creative process,” she says. Depending on the piece she’s working on, so will the process vary.

“For my bigger plates of food I cook the dish, compose the food for the correct photo, and then take many photos to capture the food in its best light and composition,” she says. “The other approach I take is to make a colored sketch for a photo I have taken or a combination of photos to create the best image ready to stitch.” She then draws a very basic sketch on fabric and changes it as she goes along.

Aside from food, she also embroiders portraits. Those often feature icons like Iris Apfel and Malala Yousafzai. “I’m always thinking of new ideas and yet there is not enough time to do them all,” she says. “I’m always excited to start new projects.” We’re just as excited!

Based and Japan, and known only by her online moniker, ipnot uses her needle as a sort of a paintbrush, stitching one knot at a time – an embroidery technique known as French knotting, in which the yarn or thread is knotted around itself. “I discovered myself that the French knot stitch can be done by wrapping thread around the needle,” she explains on her website. “I find this type of stitching to be a lot of fun to do and it is my favorite type of stitch.”

“I choose a thread of my own preference from 500 different-colored embroidery threads,” she adds, explaining the thought process that goes into her work. “As in the art of stipple painting, I use my needle like a paintbrush and I stitch one knot at a time.” According to her, she doesn’t mind the amount of time and effort that goes into each piece. “It feels like a hobby since I am having fun,” she admits.

Prepare to be amazed.

According to Zakariya, she was inspired to create her smoothie artworks after messing up the topping on a bowl of butternut squash soup. When her swirls didn’t come out properly, she turned them into a tree and continued experimenting from there. 

A market analyst by day, she tends to her food creations on her time off. But unlike regular painting, her food art doesn’t require any brushes, just wooden skewers, and a table knife. While the smoothies are made of cream, milk, fruits, and berries, the drawings are painted with coconut cream, almond milk, spices, herbs, and vegetable powders. The result is both playful and tasty.

Her smoothie paintings include renditions of pop culture icons as well as animals and cartoons. “It’s become a fun platform for me to express and challenge myself creatively,” says Zakariya. “Personally, it’s also a great mindfulness practice. And smoothies are a good way to enjoy more fruits and vegetables.”

But her most celebrated accomplishment has to be her signature flower pressed shortbread cookies, made by hand using flowers and herbs seasonally available. “On a busy week, we bake over 2,000 cookies,” admitted Stern in an interview with Voyage LA. “I’m most proud that I get to do what I love most for work– and that is feed people.”

With each cookie handled with care, pressed with individual botanicals, the results often differ, making each product unique as it is beautiful. So much so that it’s almost a shame to eat one. ALMOST.

According to Stern, her journey from the garden and into the kitchen came almost naturally. Born in Ojai, CA she recalls how she would grow cherry tomatoes in her family’s garden and sell them at the end of their driveway. “Since those tender days, my journey has meandered from playing professional tennis to working in the fashion industry and then to finding my greatest expression in the culinary world,” she explains.

With more than 150k fand on Instagram, Stern has definitely arrived!

But it all started by sort of mistake. “It’s a real case of being at the right place at the time right time,” he told Vulture. “My best mate worked in television and suggested that I apply for a job in ‘the edit’ at this new cookery show. With no TV experience or idea about how edits worked, I blagged my way in and started two days later.”

After his editing job took off, Hovey shared with the directors and editors that his passion was actually illustration. “It led to the director coming to me in the second week saying that he felt there was a visual element missing and maybe I could come up with some ideas,” he recalled. “I sketched a few examples, we decided on a style that fit the bill and I got the gig.”

Throughout the many seasons of the show, his creative style has stayed consisted, creating appetizing illustrations of the deserts at hand. “The concept was to create drawings based on what the bakers may have sketched out when deciding what to bake in the show in their own recipe sketchbook,” explained Hovey. “The style has grown with the show and I think as the contestants’ skills have improved year on year, so have mine, and in turn my ability to display their creations in the best light.”

“I started my journey experimenting with all sorts of weird and wonderful ingredients. I found myself falling in love with breakfast and food in general! What began with me sharing my food creations on Facebook to family and friends, turned into the birth of my Instagram account in 2016,” she wrote on her blog.

Her Instagram account started to grow each day, and a year later, she realized that “it was becoming more than a hobby”. Now, Kazan has more than 790k Instagram followers and has been featured in media worldwide. She had the opportunity to work with Google, Pinterest, Duty-Free, Disney and Fox Productions. She even met the Royal Family!

Her original series was made as part of the #36daysoftype challenge which invited designers, illustrators, and graphic artists to express their particular interpretation of letters and numbers. “Let’s start the #36daysoftype with this ‘A’ as in ‘Amatriciana,’” wrote the Barcelona-based artist under her first illustration of the letter A. “This traditional roman dish takes its name from the town of Amatrice and the first written record of it comes from the roman cook Francesco Leonardi who served Pasta all’Amatriciana to the Pope in 1816,” she explained. “Yes, it’s gonna be alllll about Italian cuisine my friends!”

Since graduating from Iuav with an MA in Visual and Multimedia Communication, specializing in Interaction Design, Rossi works as an interaction and UX designer. But she still takes her time when it comes to drawing, sharing her graphic illustrations with her small but dedicated following on Instagram.

Enjoy!
