Question: What is the difference between embroidery artwork and paintings?

Answer:

The embroidery artworks are handmade with needle and pure silk thread. (Natural silk) It is hand stitched on silk fabrics instead of glues and paintings. Because silk threads shine naturally and they are usually of multiple layers, silk embroidery outshines painting in color and beats painting in depth and dimension.

Question: How to protect the embroideries?

Answer:

The glass frame is for dust protection. Do not touch the embroidery by water; do not store or hang silk embroidery under direct sun light.

Question: Why does the embroidery looks so colorful and dimensional?

Answer:

Only carefully dyed pure silk threads are applied in each embroidery work. The fine technique of cross and parallel stitches blend vivid colors naturally and smoothly. Hand stitched in many layers, lights and shadows can play the magic for a 3-D look.

Question: Do silk colors easily to fade?

Answer:

Colors do not fade easily because we use very well dyed silk to make the embroideries. The silk is natural silk from silk worms. Many ancient silk arts are seen in the museums which can date back to a thousand years ago.
