Embroidery is refined handmade art, using the needle as a pen and the thread being the ink. A handmade artistic recreation, the ingenuity of the craftsmanship travels along with the threading of the needle and the spun yarn. Jenny uses natural silk thread. One silk thread can be split into 16 threads, and each thread can be further split into another 3 threads, which is much finer than human hair. Ponder that for a moment. This requires high-quality silk thread and superb thread splitting skill. Under scrutiny, the unique mercerised fluidity and glorious visual effects of embroidered artworks are unmatched by other art forms. You'll find more information about the artist on the registration form.
