This collection was found while browsing the web. Sadly, I have no idea who the artist is, if you know, please let me know! Update: Thea creators of these amazing creatures have been located (Thanks, Sel!): Anya Stasenko and Slava Leontiev. Not only I can now give them credit for these wonderful creations, but their website also features many more!
Szou silk embroidery is one of the few stiles in Chinese embroidery - an ancient art of embroidering with silk threads. It is known for painstaking precision and breathtaking color nuances. Here are some of the examples that I was able to find on the web.
I wanted to share this wonderful photography work by Inna Korobova. Her works are beautiful and inspiring. There is just something peaceful about still life, have you noticed? I find it very relaxing to look at those photos. And sometimes hungry.
Please be sure to visit the photographer's site to see more of her work. Its really enchanting!
