Inspired by her childhood in the Kent Countryside, English artist Catherine Frere-Smith creates jaw-dropping, embroidered soft sculptures of birds by hand.  Each true-to-life piece features hours-upon-hours of perfectly executed embroidery, lending texture and color to the organic cotton, naturally dyed lambswool yarn and copper wire-made piece. Check out Ms. Frere-Smith’s gorgeous collection of birds below, and visit her on Etsy.
