w...t...f... is this sorcery.

It's so good. I'm not usually that into photorealism in art. Like, I appreciate the craftsmanship, but I'm not that jazzed about it overall, but this? This dropped my jaw.

I've just been going through her instagram. Really astonishing stuff - it's hard to wrap my mind around capturing such complexity in frickin embroidery thread. I found this in-progress image: www.instagram.com/p/CPQociRrYR...

That’s astonishing art!

This is right up there with one of those ludicrously photorealistic drawings you can mistake for a photograph.

Also ATTN @nuclearanthro.bsky.social

😲wow! That…is…wow! I am working on my long & short stitch right now & I am inordinately proud that I semi-successfully did a few square inches in a 4 color fade. I can’t even begin to think how one would do the OP art! Such skill!

Showed this to my spouse before telling him it was embroidery. He stared for a second longer before letting out a forceful "fuck off." It really is stunning.

That is the only correct response

Beveled glass in perspective with liquid and light gradients? That's hard in any medium. In thread???? Fuck off indeed.

My first thought was, I can't see the embroidery because that damned decanter is in the way. Nice work, someone.

Same

I thought I was looking at an actual bottle. WHAT.

Whoa

It's too early to be fucking with me like this.

Losing it with the wood grain. Art is awesome.

Saaaame! That’s wild.

Me: Oh, is embroidery what they call those little squares on a bottle? ::zooms in:: Me: holy shit what

@floregonian.com I think you'd enjoy this, it is absolute sorcery

WOW

ugh (complimentary) That's incredible. This is like the opposite of the person who was embroidering sexy grotesques in a really loose but fun way. I love the versatility of embroidery as a medium.

Yes!

WOW. That's extraordinary.

Holy shit that's gorgeous

this is MASTERFUL

ok, that is AMAZING

@auberon.bsky.social I remember how amazed you and others were about Renaissance Italian sculptors making marble look like translucent fabric in veils - here someone's done the reverse

Wow! That's done in embroidery!? Super duper

Holy cow

Hooooow

Witchcraft. Alliances with the dark embroidery forces.

That's incredible

That is absolutely incredible 🤯🤯

A new sensation: "this embroidery makes me thirsty."

Oh wow, WTF

Wow!

Wow indeed.
