Chinese Lantern Plant Embroidery Hoop Art

I have hand sewn this art piece with beautiful autumnal coloured threads. It is a representation of one of my favourite autumn plants Physalis alkekengi in a herbarium image showing different parts of the plant at different stages during the autumn and winter.

Size: 7 inches

The grey cotton background colour slightly differs in the photos due to the natural daylight at the time of taking.

Handmade in London, UK.

Inspiration

I love autumn and this is one of my favourite plants of the season, which really comes into its own at this time of year. I also love collecting plants for my herbarium so this is inspired by herbarium sample that has been pressed.
