Fluffy Textile Moths And Butterflies By Yumi Okita

Published 10 years ago

These alluring textile creatures are the products of artist Yumi Okita’s beautiful imagination and skilled fingers. The North Carolina-based creator sews, embroiders, and stitches multi-colored fabrics into gorgeous moths, butterflies, and other insects. They’re quite a lot bigger than their live originals – up to nearly a foot wide. These textile sculptures look incredibly life-like, but given their enormous antennas, creepy-crawly legs and unsettling fur threads, we’re happy they’re not real.
