Textile specialist creates realistic moss embroidery (Photo)

Embroidery is a hobby of US textile specialist Emma Mattson. She uses various moss images as examples.

The American embroiders her three-dimensional sculptural forms using woolen and silk threads of various shades. Typically uses green, brown and white. On a previously prepared textile base, enclosed in a hoop, miniature mosses and lichens seem to come to life.

Due to the special technology of multi-layer stitches, which needlewomen also call the "French knot", Emma Mattson's artistic ideas are embodied simply and unpretentiously. Even felt, layering with rounded shapes, helps to create a three-dimensional image.

The choice of a textile specialist on moss was not accidental. She is interested in everything connected with this plant. And after she found out that there are about 12 thousand species of mosses, Emma Mattson decided to try to start embroidering them. In her opinion, these are very unpredictable plants - on closer inspection, they can be very surprising.

The American woman also took up embroidery for a reason. This is her personal way to get away from life's problems. Starting a new product, she seems to be temporarily disconnected from reality. This happens to any person who is seriously interested in his hobby.
