Is it just me? Or does everybody find red invigorating? Especially if it's a cherry red, hanging out with its color-wheel kin, pink, orange, and violet.

Jilli Blackwood is a Scottish fiber artist, weaver, and textile designer whose work celebrates this palette more than anybody I've seen in a long time. Blackwood uses embroidery, layering, and unlikely combinations (silk, leather, linen, for example) to create wearables and other textiles that are beyond dimensional. Crimson, puce, cerise, plum, perfection.

Can't get enough craft? Neither can we. Heck Yes Craft is a series of visual blog posts with a simple mission: to show off amazing work. Come back on Fridays for more.
