Through carefully layered stitches, she aims to capture the texture, light, and personality of native birds, insects, and wildlife, bringing them to life one thread at a time. Each piece is entirely hand stitched, with a focus on realism, detail, and storytelling. She is drawn to the challenge of translating fleeting moments in nature into lasting works of textile art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2584\/5368\/collections\/Nicola_Tappa_Profile_Image.jpg?v=1782608246","url":"https:\/\/thecoolstoregallery.co.nz\/collections\/nicola-tappa.oembed","provider":"The Coolstore Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
