Embroidered Wild Flowers & Animals by Mayuka Morimoto

Delicate. Lifelike. Completely enchanting.

In this exquisite collection by Hokkaido-based artist Mayuka Morimoto, you’ll find embroidery designs that feel as if they might spring to life at any moment—rabbits mid-hop, birds paused on a branch, and wildflowers whispering in the breeze.

With a focus on layering threads to build dimensional color and soft texture, these motifs go beyond simple outlines. By blending hues, Morimoto captures the shimmer of fur, the flutter of feathers, and the quiet magic of a forest in bloom.

While designed for intermediate stitchers (or adventurous beginners), each piece is achievable with patience and joy. These are works you'll want to linger over—slowing down to savor the process as much as the finished piece.
Inside you'll find:

• Designs featuring wildflowers, grasses, birds, rabbits, and squirrels
• Techniques for shading and texture using layered thread colors
• Inspiration for creating expressive, detailed embroidery
