    I fell in love with tulle when I was a child and was given my first tutu.
    I fell in love with flowers when I was a teenager and was given some bulbs and seeds to grow.
    I fell in love with embroidery when I was a (stressed) adult and discovered the joy of creativity.
    And now I’ve fallen in love with Olga’s beautiful, delicate and inspiring work!

    I am rediscovering embroidery. I embroidered as a child, and I pressed flowers as well. My grandfather constructed a flower press for me when I was about 10. So, for me the work that Olga creates is not only gorgeous, it’s a kind of “home food”. Just lovely. Every time I see a photograph of her work, I become instantly happy.

I love the calming, slow approach of preserving each piece of leaf, frond, or flower and integrating into a new art form. Every step is slow but intentional, lending to the beauty of the final piece.

  • Reply Mel November 23, 2021 at 9:01 am

    Wow Olgas work is just stunning, I love the way she uses intricate embroidery & delicate dried material to encapsulate a floral display. I started my own creative business a cutting patch called Suffolk Flower Garden during lockdown growing cut flowers, some of which I dry. I’d love to learn this process during the dark winter months when there is not much going on in the garden. I could then have a flower filled life all year round & create beautiful pieces of natural art using my own material.
    My favourite pieces from Olga are the blossom & letter hoop she is amazingly talented.

    I am a keen gardener and love to fill my house inside and out with flowers. I am always a little saddened when my Flowers die and have never thought of drying them and making such beautiful displays. 😍 Even though I won’t win, I now have some inspiration to do something different and will definitely try this. Its stunning 😍

    THESE DESIGNS CAPTURE THE FULL BEAUTY AND VIBRANCE OF NATURE IN ALL ITS GLORY

    I would love to win this kit. I particularly like how Olgas kits are made on a tulle. These can be gifted to friends and family as presents. I like how they last as they are dried flowers too. So if one of the family members was to have a baby girl the pink kit would make a lovely personalised keepsake that would also look beautiful displayed in the child’s room 😍

      Yes there’s something so lovely about the tulle isn’t there? 😊

    I love this embroidery with all the beauty of nature showcased this way. They are all lovely but my favourite for gifting are the capital letters.

    • Reply Laura Dunkley December 18, 2021 at 7:51 am

      Yes – the letters are beautiful aren’t they? 😊

    These are just beautiful and I love the combination of using what is natural and local to bring it inside as art

      I totally agree Jen – glad you enjoyed! 😊

    I love the elegance and delicate nature of this craft. It is just beautiful and I would love to win a kit (especially as they are sold out online).

    The idea of using dried flowers to embroider is a new one to me but I feel excited to give it a go. I have tried many crafts in the past particularly anything to do with flowers so am researching how to get started, Olga’s book would be a great starting point on my journey so hopefully I will be lucky enough to win it. Merry Christmas everyone and a happy, healthy and flower filled new year to all.

    I love the concept – it’s such a unique and beautiful idea!

    I lost my Mum suddenly in November. I kept some of the funeral flowers as they were just too beautiful to leave behind at the cemetery. Some of them I’ve dried and I was browsing for ideas of how to use them when I came across your beautiful ideas and designs. To learn how to make something like this would be such a lovely memory of my Mum as, in her younger days she made all our clothes and taught me to sew. I wold love to win this.

    • Reply Laura Dunkley December 28, 2021 at 11:30 am

      So sorry to hear that you lost your Mum, Julie. Embroidering with the dried flowers from her funeral is a lovely idea

  • Reply nat pope December 27, 2021 at 12:48 pm

    i’d certainly like to try this – looks beautiful

  • Reply Katherine Snedden December 28, 2021 at 3:32 pm

    I’ve never seen embroidery with dried flowers before and it’s really inventive! I have done a plant embroidery with thread, but this is something entirely new.

    We’ve been shielding our 11 year old immunosuppressed son since March 2020, even though we’ve chosen to do this to keep our boy alive sometimes it sometimes feels like we’re under house arrest. We’re always looking for new & different ways to add cheer to our home. Olga always uses bright and cheerful combinations, though embroidery isn’t our strong point we always happy to give anything a try, (by we I mostly mean my incredibly creative 20 year old talented makeup artist daughter!), we’d love to have a go at this kit & maybe show Olga our results, our boy has severe learning difficulties so things like this stimulate his senses, so many pluses!

      thanks for sharing your story with us Fiona – it sounds like a really good idea to share the sensory side of this kind of craft with you son. Hope you’re all keeping well.
