Inspired by the Lubber Grasshopper, this little critter is an explosion of colour, texture and painstaking detail and has been meticulously constructed over the course of numerous hours and many months. Comprising of 85+ hours, this artwork has been delicately stitched entirely by hand and as a result of the individual handcrafted creation process no two pieces are exactly the same - each piece is truly unique. Whilst my creation process embraces facets of traditional stumpwork embroidery, this piece embodies both the old and the new and is the amalgamation of traditional stumpwork embroidery along with techniques and methods I have devised during my years making these little critters. Designed to be a fantastical ‘dressed up’ representation of the insect shape rather than a realistic replica this little critter would make the perfect addition to the home of an entomology admirer or lover of beautiful, one of a kind pieces. DIMENSIONS Frame - 40cm (Width) x 40cm (Length) x 6cm (Depth) Grasshopper - 12cm x 16cm Each artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity. All pieces are hand embroidered and no machines have been used in the process.
