Let your creativity blossom by embroidering complex botanical compositions using dry flowers, foliage and natural materials

Flowers-on-tulle embroidery is the delicate craft of weaving natural plants and flowers onto fabric. The artist behind the creation of this practice is Olga Prinku, a renowned embroidery artist whose work has been featured in numerous publications like Martha Stewart or in fashion collections like Swarovski.
