Vladimir Denshchikov is an artist from Ukraine. He creates these religious icons using linen threads. Millions of knots are made manually by the artist during months of painstaking work. He has been practicing this technique for more than 30 years. It takes from 3 to 9 months to create an icon. Wow!

Linen Icons, extraordinary! Thank you so much for sharing this.
My husband, Russian, will enjoy this immensely and I can see one of these masterpieces in my new home.
Like yourself Elsa, I have been doing a bit of house hunting too:

Exquisite work.
There are no words……I just feel my heart singing.
This is beyond ‘macrame’… as if to call Leonardo ‘paint by number’… unbelievable, these images bring tears to my eyes.
