This piece is called "Zip de Bloom". Each flower and insect is made from zips. Metal zips can be very costly and restricting in their colour range. I have managed to successfully dye metal zips with a polyester dye supplied by Made on Marion in Wellington NZ. Key to a successful zip flower is ensuring you use matching thread.
Close up of my insects. If you enjoy handwork then give this art form a go.
