Ira Pashkevych is a talented embroidery artist who turns some of the most famous artworks in history into brooches that can fit on your palm. Her meticulous work consists of numerous short stitches that act like brushstrokes and capture the original paintings incredibly realistically. Her portfolio so far includes works by artists like van Gogh, Monet, Klimt, and many more.
“The complexity and execution time of a brooch can vary greatly,” Pashkevych tells My Modern Met. “A simple brooch usually takes five hours.” She works on some of them for days, especially when there are so many details to catch.
