About Kristina

At Fiber in Frame, every piece begins the same way: a bare wooden frame, a single needle, and hours of quiet, repetitive motion.
I work in punch needle embroidery — an old, patient craft that asks for nothing but hands, thread, and time. No machines, no shortcuts. Each yarn painting is built stitch by stitch, loop by loop, over long stretches of focused, meditative work. It's slow by design. That slowness is where the texture, depth, and warmth of the piece actually comes from.

Materials, without compromise
Everything I use is natural: the highest quality wool yarn, jute, and linen. No synthetic fibers, no plastic-based elements, no glue holding anything together — just fiber pulled through fiber, the way this technique has always been done. It matters to me that a piece feels honest in the hand as well as the eye: soft, textured, alive, and entirely from materials that came from the earth and will one day return to it.

A quiet palette
My color language stays deliberately restrained — elegant, natural pastels drawn from water, sand, stone, soil, plants, clouds, sky. The goal isn't to shout from a wall, but to settle into a room the very way like natural light does: present, calming, and quietly luxurious.

Create With Me
Punch needle rewards patience in a very particular way — each piece reveals itself slowly, over hours of meditative handwork. The process and the object are inseparable - you can feel the time stitched into the work.
Commissioned pieces are sized to your space and made to become part of it — an heirloom rather than decoration. If that's the kind of piece you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
