We previously introduced you to Russian embroidery artist Vera Shimunia's dreamy, beautiful landscapes and since then her presentations have only become more stunning. With a growing Instagram follower count of over 200k people, it's easy to see her talent and imagination have not peaked.
The talented artist is completely self-taught and just like many creators she was inspired by 'love'. "I just decided to try. And when I made my first embroidery pattern, the boy I liked (he has great taste and he is in art community) wrote me: 'you did this?? So cool' and I decided to continue," Shimunia told Bored Panda.
It took about a half a year for her to bring her vision to the public, said the embroidery star, "I started to publish my embroidery experiments on Instagram and people start to write me, 'can I buy it?' And I thought - why not."
With vibrant blues, whimsical pinks and deep purples, each beautiful artwork transports you to a world Shimunia has created, inspired by nature and music. The intricate detailing depending on the difficulty takes anywhere from three days to a month, "I am thinking about future embroidery, I am preparing the necessary materials. "Sometimes the picture in my head does not coincide with what I made, then I cut off treads and try again."
Over time this young visionary's unique art has continued to evolve as is evident on her page. Her enchanting needlepoint can be seen displayed over complimentary backdrops, only adding to the already eye-popping visuals.

Wow, check out Natalia Margulis. Her work makes this look like child's play. Hers is with very fine threads and thousands of small stitches. Look her up. You won't believe it.
Hello Vera. My name is Kerstin Zettmar. it is nice to see someone is during paintings with yarn, like I have been doing for the past 40 years. Here is one of my pieces. Some of the work I do is quite large. You can see more at www.kerstinzettmarart.com me-and-At-...1cb050.jpg
I've been wanting to buy one of these for years but cannot find a legit link
This looks a lot like the Brazilian Embroidery that my Mo used to do....3 dimensional flowers, etc. Sooo pretty. Beautiful work.
Freaking stunning!! I'd love a front row seat in your brain as you dream up these magical scenes ❤✨
This is my ultimate favorite!! I love the turquoise mixture! I love the color of the clouds! I LOVE the whole thing!!
I could literally cry out of joy seeing these! These works of yours are so beautiful..it melts my heart!
The way you capture movement and then get that message across with yarn as your medium is f*ing mind blowing!!
This makes me think about how much we ruin the earth with plastic and stuff, and I want to save the earth just to get a real life photo to look like this, and not all gray and stuff.
Not only does it have depth but it looks as though the river is rushing quickly down stream!! Increadible work my friend!
This is my favorite. It's amazing that so much work is constrained by such a small space.
This woman has ledgebdary pictures or scenes, Man I wish I was rich so I could buy one. They a exquisite !!!
Between the trees and the sky, this one is really different and REALLY beautiful!
I don't know how you do the clouds....but they all look like actual smoke rising from the embroidery
There's a blogger who lives in high mountains who posts sunset pictures frequently. This looks JUST like them, the stunning reds and golds lighting the clouds and reflecting in lakes below. Stunning work!
The wildflowers and grasslands seem to effortlessly dance in the wind...
I love the way the yellows look like a river of color descending from the mountains across the valley. So creative!
When I had to choose, I would choose this one with the beautiful rainbow trees
It's a great touch to show so many of these against a background of the same picture, enlarged enough to make the small one stand out.
Believe me, you will be screaming internally in like five seconds, tops :D (externally in ten)
Load More Replies...Aah! Some distant rain seen from a windswept bluff. Love the stories these tell.
I can almost feel the wind, and the rain, in this piece!!!
Reminds me of bob ross, with all those happy little trees.
All are stunning, and similar, but each one is uniquely beautiful as it pulls you in.
I gotta catch em all! I need these in my life (props to anyone who got the pokemon go reference)
I love every single one! Absolutely beautiful pieces! I would definitely love to purchase one. Heading to the Etsy page right now!
Incredibly beautiful! Photographed beautifully .... I'd love to see all of them shot without the distraction of the hand.
How about doing famous paintings? These remind me of Stary Night, which I love.
These are all just beautiful. The colors are so vivid and the 3-D poofy clouds. My favorite one is ALL of them :-)
Incredible work! The artist is extremely talented! (small point though, in the opening paragraphs it is called needlepoint which is a seperate discipline from embroidery and is worked on a canvas).
I wish they had a Youtube channel teaching us how to do these! I bet its so relaxing making something so pretty!
Wish there was a link to purchase, only sad thing about these kinds of posts that there is NOT!!!
