I first became aware of this type of Chinese art in a book I bought after a short trip to China early last year. i was interested in learning about the embroidery and found a wonderful book called Silken Treasures written by Young Yang Chung. Chung writes a history of embroidery in China, japan, Korea,and Vietnam. The type of embroidery you are now doing is what intrigued me the most. Are you using a machine? I am interested because the Chinese work seems so delicate. I have no experience with machine embroidery so I am curious about how you work. Kate in Bloomington
