Chinese Folk
Art is pleased to provide these silk embroidered peasant pictures, the
latest product to use Jinshan Peasant Painting designs. The pictures
are handmade by women working in Suzhou, the city which gave birth to China's
silk culture.
The process for making these pictures
uses both traditional and high-tech methods. First, an artist at
the Jinshan Academy of Peasant Paintings paints the picture that will be
embroidered. Then, the painting is photographed, and the photo is
scanned. The resulting image is used to form a pattern for the embroidery,
and then the artist in Suzhou creates the picture, using silk thread on
a silk background. The picture is matted and framed.

look like a light-colored wood.
