In skillful hands, a withered plant comes to life, products turn into a culinary masterpiece, and fabric scraps into an original craft. Moreover, it is not at all fundamentally female or male hands. For example, Mister Finch sews excellent crafts depicting various insects.
Moreover, his collection is already so large that it no longer fits in the workshop. It all started with a piece of tapestry, which reminded the artist of the wings of a butterfly. The fabric was so bright that Mister Finch (who was not yet hiding behind a pseudonym) took up the thread with a needle. Further more. The artist began making other butterflies, using the most unexpected types of materials for creativity. Fur, lurex, and chiffon came in handy. The wire served as antennae, small beads replaced the eyes.
After butterflies, Mister Finch began tinkering with a series of sleeping hares, then a collection of all kinds of mushrooms. The artist's works are notable for their realism, despite the fact that the wings of the butterflies are made of fabric, and the membranes on the paws of the hare are laid with colored threads. Moreover, Mister Finch's work is more realistic than, for example, the black butterflies on the walls of an ancient church in Spain by Carlos Amorales.
