Talented Artist Larysa Bernhardt Embroiders Giant Moths With Beautiful Designs

Can you share your process and technique, and the length of time it takes to create a finished piece? Every piece is unique and takes a different amount of time. Sometimes fabric is worn and fibers need to be reinforced. Sometimes velvet that I use for the body looks too new and I dye it with flowers from my garden to give them a muted color that's associated with time and sun exposure. I use new fabrics for bodies because that's what holds it together and I want the body to be strong. Every detail is wired for gentle shaping. I don't use glue, and I use raw cotton for stuffing. My pieces will last for centuries if kept dry and - well, away from moths!
