# Embroidered Anatomies Mary Yeager's Detailed Merit Badges For Gallery Hanahou By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-06-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mary-yeager-merit-badges References: [cakeheadlovesevil](http://cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/anatomical-guiding-badges/) & [stabbed.wordpress](http://stabbed.wordpress.com/2009/01/28/merit-badges-at-gallery-hanahou/) Gallery Hanahou will be showcasing this [innovative collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko) of [embroidered badges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral) from Mary Yeager. Always known for her badge arrangement, Yeager decided to get quite creative with this exhibit. The three badges are embroidered images of a [heart, a brain and intestines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu). The small merit badges are very detailed (VERY) and appear to have taken time and skill. I wouldn’t classify this as creepy, but I won’t hesitate to say it’s a little outside the atmosphere (if you know what I mean). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Embroidered Anatomy Art:** Mary Yeager blurs the line between science and art with embroidery in this anatomical series. - **Detailed Merit Badges:** Intricately stitched badges offer a new level of personalization and artistry. - **Craft as Fine Art:** Craft-based artistry finds new footing in galleries and exhibitions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Art:** Fine art galleries can expand to include embroidery and other craft-based art forms. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Embroidery can be used to create unique and personalized merchandise for fashion and accessories brands. - **Education and Skill-based Learning:** Embroidery and other craft-based skills can be taught in schools and workshops to promote creativity and innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charming Creepy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears.md) - [Playful Button-Focused Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beau-mccall.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Medicine-Inspired Artful Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-for-the-pain.md) - [Anatomical Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Knitted New York Subways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straphangers-lounge.md) - [Educational Anatomy Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-heart-with-hidden-cells.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md)
