]]>Vecchia is the founder of the embroidery brand Leveza Art, but don’t expect to find any regular botanical hoops on her Instagram page. She became a true sensation with 140,000 Instagram followers under her belt once she decided to put an eco-friendly twist on traditional embroidery and use dried leaves instead of fabric.
Vecchia’s decision to put nature front and center in her work isn’t a huge shocker since she used to be a biology student before turning to embroidery. Her art perfectly captures the fragility of nature because stitching things together on dried leaves doesn’t come easy, and she sometimes even incorporates tiny branches into her art, making it even more impressive.
Birds are the most common subject Vecchia enjoys exploring through her art, and she’s a true master when it comes to capturing their vivid colors and playful spirits. She enjoys paying homage to the native Brazilian species, in the hope her art will raise awareness about endangered species in desperate need of protection.

]]>Noa’s bird comics all started when an odd-looking bird caught her eye one day when she was making her way back home. She went home and looked it up, and as she was reading, she started wondering, what if birds acted like human beings? When if they could talk to each other, form friendships, fight? She started drawing.
Noa’s artistic talent and witty dialogues captivated everybody who came across them, and users started sharing them and following her on social media. She decided to turn the birds into a project – she would publish one bird comic a day for 100, and at the same time, set up a Kickstarter to publish them as a book. It took the fundraiser less than three hours to reach its goal.
Today, after publishing her bird book, Noa decided to make her comics available to the world by translating them to English! You can now take a peek at the secret life of birds on her English language Facebook page and have a laugh while you’re at it.
