Leaves Embroidered In Extraordinary Detail By Artist Hillary Fayle

Published 10 years ago

Hillary Fayle is a remarkable embroidery artist who chose a truly original and meaningful surface for her work – leaves. Her eminently delicate and fragile embroideries look almost impossible.

For the leaves to remain whole, Fayle covers them with a nontoxic preservative beforehand to stiffen them and protect them from possible harm. And them the fun of sketching, stitching, sewing and embroidering begins.

I generally try to use renewable, sustainable and environmentally friendly materials for my art, so this was an obvious choice,” writes Fayle.
