Welcome to O&Y Studio

— One-of-a-kind, wool embroidery fiber art pieces —

My work celebrates my love of gorgeous threads, the beauty of flowers, nature and colors.

All lovingly handmade in Charlotte, North Carolina by self-taught artist, Andrea Brinkley, aka Andy.

 
 

Each artwork is designed and hand-embroidered with carefully selected, choice wool yarns and mohairs often, but not always, on a crocheted wool or wire background. With the added touch of complex embroidery stitches and techniques, my pieces will impress anyone as a unique gift.

If you are interested in a custom piece, please email me or direct message me through Instagram or Etsy

Last year I was honored to be one of 20 artists chosen for the ArtPop Street Gallery Class of 2023!

If one’s bookshelves are filled with wool, does that make them “woolshelves” instead? 🤔 In my studio there are 3 sets of these Ikea bookshelves and the cubes are filled with layers of wools 😆 • Hope you’re having a wond
