Pet portraits take many different shapes and forms, and if you still haven’t seen ones that have been stitched together—now’s the time! Amberry Lamb is crafting some of the most whimsical pet portraits that you’ll ever come across, showing animals wearing vintage human clothes.
Before starting to embroider custom-made portraits for other people, she kicked things off by making a portrait of her own cat Athena. The gray and fluffy feline reminded her of an old lady, and that’s why she decided to immortalize her with a portrait that shows her wearing a tiny hat and purple outfit, with a bunch of forget-me-nots stuck in between.
This portrait turned out to be a huge hit for Amberry Lamb, and many people asked her to turn their own pets into unique heroes in their own embroidery stories.
“Every pet is loved and unique. I do embroidery based on a photo of a pet and come up with a costume… Every pet owner can tell hundreds of interesting stories related to his pet. There is a lot of love and friendship in these stories. It’s very inspiring,” she writes on Behance.
In addition to creating pet portraits, Amberry Lamb enjoys expiring many other themes through her embroidery, often concerning nature. She’s also a skilled illustrator and painter, and her art will welcome you into the imaginary world of Amberry Forrest.
