Pansies and Bumblebees by the talented Olga Smirnova from St. Petersburg
Hello, stitching world. I have something really gorgeous to share with you today by the much-respected ribbon embroiderer, Olga Smirnova from St. Petersburg. I had the great pleasure of spending time with Olga when I visited her beautiful city and we got on so well, it felt like I had known her all my life.
Olga is an incredibly talented embroiderer and two of her masterpieces are featured in the beautiful book: Silk Ribbon Embroidery — A collaboration of artists from around the world that was published to showcase the winners of the International Silk Ribbon Embroidery Competition 2012.
And Olga has kindly shared this exquisite masterpiece with us.
