It's a miracle. Textile artist Claire Moynihan has created insects I would touch willingly. She calls her technique "a ‘freestyle’ form of 3D embroidery which can loosely be described as stumpwork." I call it, really cute bugs on balls.
La storia della lavorazione della seta in Sardegna potrebbe risalire agli scambi commerciali dei Sardi con gli antichi Cretesi nei mercati di Cnosso. Su Lionzu di Orgosolo rappresenta il sunto di una manualità raffinata maturata in secoli di esperienza.

In a cozy studio overlooking a garden in Blackwell, Missouri, artist Larysa Bernhardt creates colorful moth sculptures with a needle and thread. Her fabric creatures are embroidered with old tapestries, often portraying historical people, animals, and delicate botanical forms on their wings: one specimen with a rusty orange abdomen depicts a little bird taking flight, while another is blue with a Medieval woman looking at a flower. Able to stand on their own or hang from the wall, the handmade moths feature eyes made from Czech glass beads and bodies of cotton velvet and Belgian linen. More
Want nice fat moths instead of the thinner ones as they look more moth like and less butterfly like. Which is what I really want.

Artist Claire Moynihan lives and works in rural Hertfordshire, England where she creates tiny sculptural insects and snails on felt balls using a variety of freeform embroidery techniques. After completing a collection of work Moynihan then organizes the pieces inside traditional entomological boxes which from a distance could almost pass for the real thing. See much more of her work in her gallery. (via lustik) More

The self-taught artist Mr. Finch is part hunter, part gatherer and fully genius. Obsessed with the rolling hills and mossy woods near his home in Yorkshire, Finch goes gathering for inspiration. “Flowers, insects and birds really fascinate me with their amazing life cycles and extraordinary nests and behaviour,” says the artist. He then goes hunting for vintage textiles—velvet curtains from an old hotel, a threadbare wedding dress or a vintage apron—and transforms them into all sorts of beasts and toadstools. More
Con la delicadeza que requiere el trabajo artesanal, Yumi Okita describe con hilo los maravillosos patrones de la naturaleza. Lo más probable es que, a pesar de que todos somos capaces de admirar la belleza de una mariposa, pocos hayan sido capaces de guardar la calma y observar de cerca los colores y formas inscritos sobre las alas de las polillas. Los insectos son la musa de Yumi Okita, una artista norteamericana que borda los colores de la naturaleza.
