Modern and Traditional Embroidery Dress

Happy New Year Stitchers! I hope you like creepy crawlies. Here is a collection of Claire Moynihan's embroidered insects. Claire is a UK based artist and her affinity with nature led to her specialization of insect textile art. These beautiful little bugs are constructed with felting and stump work and embellished with embroidery. Both life-size and realistic these tiny creatures form an 'embroidered' entomological collection that could sit happily among a natural history exhibit.

What lovely colors and textures are in this Hattie the June Beetle Embroidery Kit! I like that the kit offers two options - as a "basic kit" with floss, beads, fabric, needles and hoop, and a "fancy kit" with lovely stork embroidery scissors, felt for finishing, and silk ribbon for hanging - delightful!

All the designs in the Celandine Design shop are based on original watercolor art, which are printed in color onto the fabric. I like that you can choose exactly how much you'd like to embellish the design - very lovely!

These stitched insects by Julia take my breath away. I love her creative use of stitches, color, and illustrative style.



Beautiful work, Julia!
