Stitchy Snippets - All creatures great and small

Original artwork by Claire Moynihan, featured by Julia Titchfield on Feeling Stitchy

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.

Sweet snail

New Year, Mixed Media "Slow it down"

I have to say, I agree with this sentiment! So much of our current world is about viewing and acting and consuming life at top speed. One of the loveliest things about crafting is that it puts you in touch with impulses that are the opposite of that. Thanks, xperimentl, for your wonderful stitching, and Happy Friday to you all! :)
