Tangled Moss Assemblages Sprout From Embellishment Hoops

Using felt, thread, and the french knot, artist Emma Mattson sews moss-like shapes onto embroidery hoops, latching the materials onto the base like the flowerless plants which she imitates. In addition to affecting the look of the greenery, Mattson also likes to add a few pieces of fake moss on top of her works to walk the line between imitation and reality. You can see more of her moss-based embroideries on her Instagram.
