Working with a vast selection of over 500 colored threads ready at her command, Japanese embroidery artist ipnot has the artistic prowess to know just how to make her audience do a double take. Creating brilliantly detailed embroidery pieces of food, animals, and other objects we often find in our daily lives, ipnot’s hand-stitched works make it difficult to believe that they were made with only a needle and some thread.
Although it’s hard to pick a favorite, many of her best creations are of food. Whether the subject is a vegetable or a bowl of mouthwatering ramen, every textural and visual component is spot on, and it’s impossible not to feel a little pang of hunger after seeing them.

What’s even more astonishing is that ipnot is self-taught, mostly utilizing the French Knot stitch to make her hyperrealistic masterpieces come to life. Shown side-by-side with the real life versions of her creations, it’s hard to know at first glance which is made completely of intricately embroidered threads.
