Talented Artist Larysa Bernhardt Embroiders Giant Moths With Beautiful Designs

From Medieval and Renaissance figures to richly colored blooms to a yellow beaded sun, the breadth of different tapestry designs is reflected in her moth menagerie. I don't 'hunt' my materials, I let them 'happen' to me, she continues. I can walk by a beautiful tapestry and feel unmoved, or I can fall in love with it. There must be a connection, tugging-of-the-heart strings. I can get inspired by different things. A purse, porcelain cameo, string of pearls. Carriage blanket, antique tablecloth, embroidered bell pull. They tell stories, and it's never-ending.
