I Was Amazed When I Saw,

the photograph below,


all images © Yumi Okita, it was impossibly large, then I read about it, it is a moth carefully created using embroidery by Yumi Okita,

I have to admit I have never come across someone who embroiders,

the nearest to the hobby I have been to was watching my grandmother darning socks, using a darning mushroom,

Okita sometimes offers to sell her sculptures in her Etsy shop and is currently exploring the theme of nature further in a series of botanical designs, which she has begun sharing on Instagram, I have to say they look so nice and must have taken hours to make.
