| About Silk Embroidery Art > Crafting 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. > Value |
