Summary
Here come Elin and Charles, a Swedish/French couple taking a new look at Paris via the medium of embroidery.
We talked about their workshops, their embroidery, and a new language I invented.
Check out their work at Le Kadre via this link, and scroll down for a quick look.
And hang around at the end of the episode for a story from Corey, amazingly linked to embroidery too. Quite spooky too, if you ask me.
Happy embroidering!
