<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 531498, member: 8363"]Some pieces are quite easy as the variations are evident or where the techniques are various such as the seed or knotted stitch along with satin stitch. There was a lot of creativity in Chinese silk embroidery, so a row of bats will have various wing shapes and sizes or figures will have actual expressions rather than just lines. Sometimes you can see the different hands that worked a piece, some with more skill than others. What I find hard to determine is a fairly skilled hand versus early machine work especially when the subject matter is not very complex.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
