Full description
Bring the hidden wonders of immunology into your home with this unique, handcrafted fiber art piece from Subatomic Stitch. Designed to make the microscopic world warm and touchable, this piece renders the body's incredible immune defenses in rich wool, felt, and embroidery.
The Science Behind the Art:
This original artwork depicts antibodies in action. The bright orange Y-shaped structures represent immunoglobulins (antibodies) binding directly to targeted pathogens (the textured red spheres). Below, a soft blue phagocyte (immune cell) engulfs an antibody-marked pathogen through phagocytosis-the vital process where our body neutralizes invader cells.
Perfect For:
This original fiber piece makes a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift for immunologists, doctors, biologists, science teachers, PhD graduates, or anyone fascinated by the unseen mechanics of life.
This piece is available loose (unmounted), mounted onto a clean white canvas or white board ready for display, or framed. Please select your preferred finish from the dropdown menu at checkout.
Craftsmanship and Details:
Technique: Wet felting, needle felting, structural embroidery, and edge-binding stitchwork.
Materials: Natural wool felt, textured fiber mesh, and embroidery threads.
Size: Measures approximately 14 cm by 12.5 cm.
Style: Warm, folksy, and tactile-blending traditional textile techniques with biological accuracy.
Designed by Halina Bainbridge
