Beautiful work. But way out of the reach of my pocketbook. And I think a few others here in the forum. Dreaming doesn't cost anything.

For the time being, the Chinese hand embroidery artworks are undervalued...
Just imagine the painstaking embroidery process and the high technical skiss used for those artworks, a good quality hand embroidery usually takes an artist several months or even years to create, and the silk threads used for good embroidery need to be splitted to many strands to reach the great effect, the most fine threads need to splitted to 64 strands which hardly visible by naked eyes and then the artist hand stitches layer upon layer (some times it could be more than 10 layers) on the fabric base.
A good hand embroidery is not a craft but an art! I wish more and more people could know and appreciate the beautiful Chinese folk art.

WOW. Many great arts are undervalued and I would say this is one. Like the guy here with the ship models it takes SOOOOOOOO much time, skill and patience. Amazing truly amazing!

It is beautiful work, but you include the time put into the work, it is still undervalued. Unfortunately, as a digitizer, I have to undervalue my work because no one has any money unless I don't, no one would buy anything from me. Hugs Batty Batty's Attic Designs sold at www.bestsewingdeals.ocm
