There are many ways to incorporate greenery into your home. For starters, you can go the conventional route by growing a garden in your backyard. However, if taking care of plants is not your forte, then why not handcraft them instead? From paper plants to crocheted houseplants, Japanese artist Konekono Kitsune offers another interesting alternative with her vegetable embroidery designs.
Based in Tokyo, the artist delights in creating stitched replicas of fresh produce straight from her garden or the market. From lush leafy greens to robust root crops, each piece features a three-dimensional effect, accurately representing its real-life counterpart.
