About the Author

Olga Prinku has always been enchanted by the rich heritage of hand embroidery and weaving from her home country of Moldova. It was this, paired with her love for entwining nature in craft, that led her to come up with the concept of flowers-on-tulle embroidery in 2016. Since then the craft of flowers-on-tulle has bloomed and Olga has amassed a large following of fans keen to replicate her work. Olga has collaborated with brands including Anthropologie, on a range of cushions inspired by her designs, and styling jewels for the Swarovski catalogue. Olga’s artwork has been displayed at the Aga Khan Centre (London), the Stitch Festival (London), Interfilière Paris and the Aspex Gallery (Portsmouth). Olga’s work has been featured in a wide range of print magazines including Embroidery Magazine (UK), Mollie Makes (UK), Flow (Germany), Our Maker Life (USA), What WomenCreate (USA), Maison Creative (France), Homespun (Australia) plus many more.
