This is not exactly embroidery, but it does have extraordinary embroidery detail. The lace cravat and sleeve ruffle that are hewn out of solid marble are captivating. Then there's the wonderful detail on the fringe and the embroidered buttons.

The sculptor was Louis Phillipe Mouchy.
Pretty extraordinary. I can imagine someone (not me!) trying to reproduce it in icing….
ReplyDeleteI had a good laugh about the 'not me'.
DeleteI’m not a cake decorating woman!
DeleteNeither am I, but it would be spectacular in icing :)
DeleteIt's absolutely breathtaking to see what the sculptor can achieve, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI would so like to run my hand over the cravat and feel the texture.
DeleteAmazing detail!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that the sculptor had a particular interest in costume hence the detail.
