Julia Gorina: Miniature Textile Brooches

Happy November everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween. I leave you for the weekend with the gorgeous work by a Russian artist Julia Gorina who I discovered through this website. She hand makes these miniature birds and owls brooches using vintage fabric and laces that are hand painted and meticulously embroidered. I am in awe at the painstaking detail in each piece. Love!

Have a beautiful weekend! I'll see you back on Monday.
