In a captivating video captured by @guyrart on November 10, 2023, in São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil, a unique artistic endeavor unfolds. The footage showcases the meticulous process of embroidering a bird onto a carefully dried leaf sourced from the Brazilian Cerrado. The artist, @guyrart, discloses that the leaf undergoes a meticulous three-month drying period before the delicate embroidery commences. Using Egyptian cotton threads from the esteemed French brand DMC, the artist brings to life the vibrant hues of the Brazilian Tanager (Ramphocelus bresilius), a common species found in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The intense red tones and distinctive "silver" beak of the bird are meticulously recreated. The finished pieces find a home within protective wooden frames, with @guyrart noting that, if well preserved, these remarkable creations have the potential to endure not just decades, but possibly centuries, preserving nature's beauty through the lens of exquisite craftsmanship.
