| The Finest Hand-made Decorative Silk Embroidery Arts |
About Silk Embroidery
Close-up Photo of Our Actual Work
The art of silk embroidery has been practiced in China for more
than 2000 years, and has more styles and new techniques
applied successfully in the past decades.
Since hundreds of years ago when they were first made
available to western countries along the ancient Chinese Silk
Road, those magnificent Chinese silk embroidery art pieces have
fascinated the world by their beauty, fine workmanship, good
design and exquisite material, and are collected among the most
beautiful treasures of the decorative arts since then.
By firming a piece of silk tightly over a wooden stretcher, a design
is sketched on the silk by drawing simple outlines, then the artist
uses fine needles and colorful silk threads to stitch the image to
life. Layer upon layer of thread is built up to create dimensions,
shadows and highlights, adding to the complexity.
A strict and elaborated process has been developed to make a
fine work, which includes scaling, tracing, color matching, missing
threads stitching, cross-stitching, overlapping stitching and many
other unique methods.
Splitting the silk thread is one of the traditional techniques.
Sometimes, the single silk thread needs be divided into 16 to 48
thinner strands to express a sense of lightness, transparency,
and the detailed transformation of colors.
A very fine silk embroidery art piece is the perfect combination of
techniques and art. It takes the talent, skills, many years of
practice, and experiences of the artist to accomplish it, and it also
takes a lot of time and intense labor works to finish it.
A beautiful Chinese silk embroidery art work is worth a lot of
appreciation and will bring you tremendous enjoyment.
