@Teeteeheehee By Allison Pinski

@Teeteeheehee, a.k.a. Teresa, is both an artist and a blogger from Singapore, most well-known for her embroideries. While she does dabble in drawing and illustration, I especially like her embroideries. She focuses a lot of her pieces on flowers and floral patterns, often with female subjects or body parts sewn in.

I would call her style “cute,” but this does not distract from her talent. Especially when looking at her Instagram, you can tell Teresa has an excellent eye for space and color, as all of her embroideries that I have seen as very aesthetically pleasing. You can check out some of her pieces below, taken from her Instagram.

A persons ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he/she was born. Yet this is turned into something difficult by the madness that is universal among men; we push one another into vices. And how can people be called back to spiritual well-being when no one is trying to hold them back and the crowd is urging them on?

Bought some vegetable plushies from IKEA some time back with my boyfriend, so made them into embroidery characters □□

"Do I really want a big house, a fast car, lots of money with tons of beautiful partners? Do I really want these things? Or am I trained to want them? Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now? Am I just under a spell that says nothing is ever good enough? Do we have free will or do the mass media, society and our culture control us, our desires and actions, from the moment we are born? " Lullaby, Chuck Palahniuk.

One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of guilt, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony. #embroidery

Teresa is also an avid traveler, and what better way to photograph your travels than with your art? I love the embroideries she made of places she has visited (like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and sights from Venice and Rome). You can check those out below!

Guys I have a mini colloseum to bring home now! □□ I made so many friends whilst doing this piece infront of the colloseum! Also... spent all my money on museum books and post cards. □□ #sewwanderlust

Ciao Firenze! And omg this place is an absolute beauty!!! Here I made friends with a guy from Nigeria selling selfie sticks, he tells me his mother works in a lace factory and we talked while i embroidered. He thanked me for the conversation and goes back to selling selfie sticks to tourists who ignore him. This is for you, I wish you happiness. :) #sewwanderlust

First thing that caught my attention when I stepped out of the train station, I knew I had to capture this sight. When I got out of the station, I literally dropped my stuff and went OMG. I just sat there like a lost child soaking up the atmosphere, the breeze, the smell of salt, the wind, the sound of boats on water....Venice is such a dream. ✨✨□□ #sewwanderlust

I don't really know how to explain it, but when we move, we are in a way de-structured by our movement toward something: we are both here and at the same time not here because we're already in the process of going elsewhere. To stop de-structuring yourself, you have to stop moving altogether. Either you move and you're no longer whole, or you're whole and you can't move. And it's sooooo magical , being completely present at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. ❤️ #sewwanderlust

A real castle hidden away in the mountain valley! ✨✨We had to do a short hike up here through a forest path that was surrounded by majestic trees, I thought about trees and their indifferent majesty and how we're almost ridiculous in comparison but yet at the same time, how deserving of life we can be when we honour this beauty that owes us nothing. #sewwanderlust

Rainy day in Luxembourg. It's so fascinating that people here speak french, german AND luxembourgish. Like, you'll be walking on a street with signs in french, and then suddenly you'll see signs in german. Also, there was a music parade going on behind. SIGH, I don't want to leave Europe. Btw completely random, but there is this amazing moon called Europa and I am completely fascinated by it. I've been reading about it for three full days now. I wish I could just take my passport and fly there.... But error404 #sewwanderlust
