Hand Embroidery Makes Her Business Hot

Chen Weiying, who lives in the 5 rich community in Qingshan District, Baotou, Inner Mongolia, has gone to school to study Su embroidery. Now she and her cadets have sold their products to the United States.

Recently, a reporter came to Chen Weiying's community embroidery shop. She was embroidering it.

Repeat customers from the United States

Look around embroidery, manuscript, cotton, embroidery thread, frame, stand, hand plate.

Chen Weiying said that these materials and tools were initially purchased by community offices, including customers and sales promotion.

Now, embroidery shop is famous for its booming sales and supply.

"The other day they called me and said they wanted to come to Baotou to buy our Suzhou embroidery.

I say you are not coming. I have a lot of work to do at the moment. I have to finish it first. You can call me a few days earlier. "

Chen Weiying said "they" are a few American friends. Last year, they bought 6 embroidery in one breath at Chen Weiying.

"As soon as they came in, they met the picture hanging on the wall and picked it up straight away. The 3 picture was the freehand brushwork of birds and trees. One was red maple and the other was landscape painting."

Chen Weiying recalled, "foreigners do not like things that are too gaudy. They like things that are natural and natural."

Only when middle-aged people knead needle

Chen Weiying is embroidering the most lively part of the riverside map of Qingming, which is also the most popular part.

"Most of them are flat headed people, so the heads, clothes, belts and shoes of the characters are scored and embroidered. They can't be stitched in the end. They need different lines and different stitches."

Chen Weiying said, "the original picture is separate, reflecting the civilian life.

There are also rich people who wear long gowns and sit on the horse. They can embroider them from head to toe.

After Chen Weiying laid off a few years ago, he went to the south to learn Su embroidery.

"We are only more than 30 years old after the pinch, compared to Jiangnan District five or six years old needle pinching embroidered girl, can achieve the present degree is very difficult."

Back in Baotou, in the hut provided by the community office, a women's embroidery workshop was set up to train laid-off women workers in the community and embroidery to subsidize families.

"When the students are finished, they will pay for the work and pay for the paintings if they are sold.

She said.

The trainees are laid off workers.

The most important part of Suzhou embroidery is "splitting the silk".

The embroidery line with a thick and thin hair can be divided into 1/2, 1/4, even 1/12 and 1/24, and thousands of threads and lines can be hidden without a trace, so as to fully show the texture of the object's image.

"Embroider the fish tail, use the thread to be thin, and the needles must be empty, so as to show light and pparent feeling. Embroider the cat, grasp the silk according to the changing rule of the wool, embroider the cat furry, lifelike and vivid, embroider rough, the cat's hair will stick like a needle."

Chen Weiying said, at present, there are more than 100 students in the embroidery workshop. Because everyone is laid-off workers, they are forty or fifty years old and can't work quickly. "If everyone embroiders eight or nine hours every day, it will take four or five days to complete such a work.

If you are quick, you can finish four or five in a month, but if you speak slowly, you can't get out. "

Slow work makes fine work.

"Therefore, some familiarity with our art shops, shops and orders are ahead of schedule."

Chen Weiying added with the same breath: "now the buyers have to wait in line. I have embroidered this picture, and they have already embroidered it."
