Many embroidery artists celebrate the endless beauty of nature through their work, but no one is doing it like Laura Dalla Vecchia. She’s stitching together the most intricate bird embroideries that you’ll ever come across while using dried leaves as a canvas.
Embroidery artists inspired by nature aren’t hard to find, but there are many things that set Vecchia apart from the rest of her peers. Her embroidery skills are so advanced that regular botanical art simply isn’t her thing, and she’s using a special technique to celebrate nature in all its shapes and forms through her brand Leveza Art.
The reason why Vecchia became such a huge sensation, with almost 140,000 Instagram followers and counting, is that you won’t find any hoops and fabrics in her art. Dried leaves are her preferred canvas, and she enjoys adding some branches to the mix from time to time, giving her art a natural feel that can’t be recreated any other way.
Another thing that helped Vecchia become a viral sensation is her decision to focus on one specific subject—the birds of Brazil. Her art lets them fly freely, in all their vibrant spirit, and many of her creations pay homage to endangered and threatened species native to her home country.
