embroidery from peacocksandpinecones my friends and I have been losing our minds over all morning.

Astonishing. Photorealistic embroidery. @copperbadge​, you’re into needlepoint, right?

Gorgeous stuff! This is far beyond my abilities – this is freehand embroidery, I mostly do cross-stitch, so it’s kind of like oil painting to pixel art (in my case – not calling all cross-stitch pixel art) but lovely to admire.

[ID: A series of ten images; on the right are close-up views of the versions on the left, which show them clearly as embroidery mounted in hoops. From top to bottom, they show a series of cut-glass containers: a decanter half-full of gold liquor, a cruet shaped like a bunch of grapes half-full of what is likely basalmic vinegar, a glass of gold liquor on a dark background, a wine bottle shaped like a fish on a gold background, and lastly another glass of gold liquor, this time on a lighter background. Even in close-up they appear nearly photorealistic.]

This is magnificent.
