Embroidery

Going to the Hunan Embroidery Museum.



Attached to it, there is the factory where girls and ladies do the stitching for the items that are sold in the museum shop. In this factory there is a large room where there are several rows of long tables with workers busy stitching various images. A supervisor walks around the room being sure that each "artist" is using exactly the right color of thread.  From three or four feet away, you can't tell if a finished piece is an original photo or is silk.

There is a banner hanging across the back of the room which says “ Fashion a state stitch work in Full pashion to Honour the country ” (sic) in English with Chinese characters above.
