Dora

Description

Our hand embroidered teddy bear art features pressed flowers mixed with sumptuous hand embroidered alpaca and silk stitchwork. Dora’s eyes are made from a hydrangea petal and magnolia bloom and her pretty dress is adorned with wildflowers.

Hand crafted by designer Leah, no two pieces of artwork are ever the same, she tune’s into an inner rhythm as she hand stitches and weaves each piece. The technique she has used here is an organic variation on darning stitch.

Each pressed flower appearing in the artwork has been 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 is a lot of trial and error. Our hope is that you will cherish the results of her crafts.

Should you require personalisation on the artwork, such as a name, monogram and/or date of birth for a birthday/ for a traditional christening gift, etc, please contact me with the details during checkout. Your choice of text will be hand written beneath the embroidered teddy bear in grey pencil before its carefully parceled.
