You’ve heard of the saying ‘a storm in a teacup’, but you’ve probably never imagined a garden in a teacup. Sounds delightful? This whimsical idea is precisely what Moscow-based embroiderer and previous Inspirations magazine contributor, Rosa Andreeva, has created in silk and beads.

Worked on hand-dyed fabrics, and created using a huge variety of stitches, silks and beads, Rosa fills chipped teacups with glorious, textured blooms and nestles them on surfaces so glittery and tactile you could imagine them coming straight from a fairy wonderland.
