Artist Spotlight: Amanda Kestner
Baxter, Tennessee | Textile Artist

Amanda Kestner brings beadwork, embroidery and wearable art together in this whimsical, nature-inspired corset.

“I used a combination of beading, including rivoli bezeling, brick-stitch leaves and other components, resin-dipped flowers and embroidery to create this piece. I also sewed the corset. I love whimsical, nature-inspired embroidery and thought combining all three mediums would create rich visual interest. I wanted to make a one-of-a-kind piece of clothing that I would truly enjoy wearing.”
