Not sure if this is the place to make this post but "Creations" seemed an appropriate place to show this skill-set that is the work of teenagers in Suzhou, PRC. A while back I visited the factory where they made these creations and observed the workers were all young girls being in their early teens and was told they were hired specifically for their visual acuity. After seeing what they did I understood. The manufacturing process to produce these articles of visual excellence involves taking a silk sheet and stretching it over a wooden frame and duplicating a colored sketch but using silk threads of the exact same color to create the overall image. What you see below shows each thread is a singular piece. The difference is that the image can be seen on both sides in exact opposite. Coming from Phoenix Arizona, I appreciated this image and so the collection began. A closer look...... Another example of their ability to create images that amaze. Awesome was the best way I was able to describe their work. Cheers, johnw

A male friend used to make his own clothes. He wasn’t a tailor ; he was an air traffic controller.
I’m not so good with hems either.

Thanks for all the links. Beautiful! Each strand of embroidery thread is divided into 126? individual threads!!! Wow! It would drive me nuts, but I'm glad enough people like to do it.

And that's not the end of it, they raise their own silk worms and harvest the silk. Now I am thinking, that's dedication to an industry that has been around for over two thousand years. Heck, that's almost as old as me. Cheers, johnw
