Hillary Fayle (previously here and here)  slices and stitches patterns into found leaves, producing elegant designs that strike a delicate balance between natural specimens and the human hand.The works range from minimal tweaks to individual leaves to more involved patterns that link several in one embroidery. Fayle hopes each piece is an encouragement to look at nature a little closer and consider the potential for harmony in objects often overlooked.
