Fly Agaric

Delicately hand-stitched using traditional silk shading and stumpwork techniques, this three-dimensional embroidered fly agaric mushroom rises from the fabric like something foraged from a storybook forest. Silk shading breathes life into its vivid red cap, while stumpwork lends it sculptural form and quiet presence. Rich in folklore and instantly recognisable, the fly agaric becomes both a symbol of magic and a specimen of natural beauty. Blurring the line between textile and botanical study, this work invites close inspection — a fleeting marvel of the forest floor, reimagined in thread, and preserved through the enduring language of fine needlework.
