Vera Shimunia is a Russian artist who specializes in creating colorful and intricate scenes using a needle and embroidery thread.
With her amazing talent, she is able to use thread as if it were paint and adds texture and dimension to each piece.
Take a look at some of her work and get lost in these unique creations.
One of Vera's trademarks is her ability to create three-dimensional clouds with embroidery thread. In this stunning piece, she captures the colors of a sunrise in the clouds.
It's amazing how you can see the individual shapes of the flowers, even though they are so small. Vera accomplishes these details by using various knotting techniques and different thread sizes.
Each scene has a designated color palette which is why they are so striking to look at. This one uses cool tones with a hint of blush pink.
Each piece is about the size of a palm. Even with their small size, Vera is able to add incredible depth like in this scene that looks like it contains an entire galaxy.
This artist is interested in portraying nature with whimsical colors. Even though her work has a stylized quality to it, some of them look incredibly realistic.
It's easy to see why. These scenes are so beautiful and really create a sense of calm in the viewer. I've personally never seen anything like these!
Vera sells her work through her Etsy shop, but it's very common for her store to sell out. You have to be fast if you want to score one of these beauties!
Vera's work has been featured in a number of publications and her art routinely goes viral because of her stunning craftsmanship. We can't wait to see what else she makes in the future!
