# Embroidered Photo Tapestry Stitch Artist Catina Ferraine Specializes in Tapestry Wallets By Catina Ferraine | Published 2014-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catina-ferraine-art-tapestry-photo-embroidery References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1731166386/turn-your-favorite-photo-into-a-timeless-tapestry) Stitch artist Catina Ferraine creates art tapestry "photo embroideries" rendered from your favorite image or graphic. The effect is similar to a black and white photo with a halftone filter. Each tile is about 5" x 7". A small tile could be a single stitched image such as a [portrait of your dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petpicture-ai), your girlfriend, a tattoo, or any other clever concept. The tapestry tiles can also be stitched together to create something as large as an entire wall-sized art piece. This is where epic ideas evolve such as an [architectural bridge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cresco-rug), nude fine art, nature scene or other abstract concepts. Unlike printed fabrics, this is actual stitching into the fabric, making it permanent. Catina plans on expanding the use of the fabric technique into other apparel and accessory items such as jeans, jackets, decorative pillows, [carry bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighthouses-of-lake-erie) and more. Anything can be made custom using your own provided photo, or select from the collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Photo Embroideries:** The trend of photo embroideries presents an opportunity for businesses to offer custom, stitched art pieces using customer-provided images. - **Wall-sized Art Pieces:** Creating wall-sized art pieces using stitched tile tapestries opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor and interior design industries. - **Expanding Fabric Technique:** Expanding the use of the fabric technique into apparel and accessory items like jeans, jackets, decorative pillows, and carry bags can bring about innovative disruptions in the fashion and lifestyle industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Craft:** The art and craft industry can explore the trend of photo embroideries to offer unique and personalized stitched art pieces. - **Home Decor and Interior Design:** The trend of creating wall-sized art pieces using stitched tile tapestries presents disruptive innovation opportunities for businesses in the home decor and interior design industries. - **Fashion and Lifestyle:** The expansion of the fabric technique into apparel and accessory items such as jeans, jackets, decorative pillows, and carry bags can bring about innovative disruptions in the fashion and lifestyle industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Custom Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom.md) - [Oil Painting-Inspired Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antonio-santn.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Hand-Tufted Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floordrobe.md) - [Cityscape-Inspired Artful Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambar.md) - [Color Blind Tapestries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chromarama.md) - [Artful Graphic Beach Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-terry-beach-towel.md) - [Female Artist-Honoring Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomma-bloom-x-ttw-editions-collection.md)
