Untitled (Thistles), circa 2020 by Moscow-based fibre artist, Rosa Andreeva (date of birth unlisted).
Embroidery
Rosa Andreeva started embroidering when she was 12. At first it was simply small cross-stitch embroidery works, but after a while it turned into a keen interest, and in 2005, she decided to take a two-year course in various types of needlework at the Museum of Applied Arts in Moscow.
Her art has evolved to the degree by which she now creates quaint gardens complete with tufts of moss and floating pollen captured with impeccable detail, honouring both her subject and her art with stunning realism.
She first sketches flora and fauna onto her fabric and then layers the textured details in thread and beads, the images rising expressively from the background. She allows the finished embroidery to grow as it will because, she says, “Nature cannot be planned.”
I have been a very busy bee, I’ve finished my medallion, started on my high top moccasins, and cut out and drilled two belts and bag and finally got my Wizipan some holes as well
