There are two pictures of this embroidery here. One is particularly lifelike.
Someday I would like to see the double sided embroidery, where each side is a different design. I can't imagine learning this style or being artistic enough to execute it.
At one time I did a lot of needlepoint, including some petit point, and cross stitching. I didn't particularly like crewel because it was working with yarn (even though needlepoint does also.) I don't enjoy doing hooked rugs, as they are so messy and the canvas is hard on the fingers. I liked doing the designs totally done in a stitch similar to French knots.
I'm doing beading now, even though I haven't done much in weeks. I totally lack any impetus at the moment.
I'll probably start to knit here again in a while, though my yarn is just making eyes at me, making me feel almost guilty for having it stacked up ready to knit. I might donate some for holiday items.
I appreciate the work done by others.
Do you do any of these things? Which do you prefer to do?

The first one is soo lifelike..lovely!!
I thought it was too. The other was more common, yet I bet it is beautiful in real life.
That’s soo nifty! Think of the patience involved with that. Good find.
A lot of patience! I wonder how long it takes to make something like that if you worked on it all day as a job?
I am always in awe of such talent.
I used to crochet in my teens- a 90 y o blind lady taught me, it felt like a holy thing.
I knitted, too.
Would like to try it again, some day.
