Dora

Description

Our hand embroidered teddy bear art features pressed flowers mixed with sumptuous hand embroidered alpaca and silk stitchwork. This teddy bear, Dora, was meticulously hand stitched into paper before being digitalised and made into this print.

Originally hand crafted by designer Leah, she tuned into her inner rhythm as she stitched and weaved the design. The technique she used was an organic variation on darning stitch.

Each pressed flower appearing in the artwork was originally hand pressed by Leah, as well as many of them having grown in her garden from seed. Selecting only the most interesting specimens to use in her prints the process was a lot of trial and error. The hope is that you cherish how we have captured her craftsmanship.
