You might think the embroidery is an art reserved for grannies only. But embroidery art is alive and thriving – especially in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Artist Vera Shimunia behind the Etsy Shop and IG @shimunia says that her brush is the needle, and anyone who’s seen her work must agree that she’s a master of the medium, without a doubt.
With over 210,000 followers on Instagram (including famous feminist embroiderer @badasscrosstitch, it’s clear that the rest of the world recognizes Vera in her unique journey of embroidery detail.
Right now, her most popular selling items are magnets.
One best seller is filled with vibrant red-leafed trees, while another shows twilight setting over a flower field and a mountainous backdrop.
Magnets are usually impersonal and an afterthought, but Vera makes it a piece of fine craftsmanship, and we’d be honored to own one. The attention to detail is simply breathtaking.
She plays around with texture in much of her work, mostly with her famously fluffy 3D clouds which can jut out in white, gray, and magenta.
We’re not are if she commissions custom orders, but we’d love to see her take on the Northern Lights or Mt. Fuji.
