Between Paint and Thread: A Million Dots, A Thousand Stitches

This new collaboration combines the vibrant, expressive brushwork of whac.art with the intricate, tactile world of Mariposa London. Spanning two unique pieces – a birdhouse and a bug hotel – the piece transforms functional garden forms into a grounded, enchanting celebration of nature’s wonders.

By layering whac.art’s vivid, multi-coloured acrylic details with Mariposa London’s three-dimensional stumpwork embroidery, we’ve created a thriving micro-ecosystem. Look closely and you’ll find a plush bumblebee, a shimmering dragonfly, a resting ladybird and tiny hand-stitched mushrooms nestled under miniature glass domes.

A true celebration of deep detail, raw materials and slow craftsmanship. 🪵✨
