The embroidery process is painstakingly detailed and tedious. Artists sketch the picture onto canvas and the embroiderer uses silk thread to fill in the sketch. A medium size piece of work can take six months to complete. The finished piece is astounding and actually looks like a painting. It’s not until you take a closer look that you realize the difference. What's even more incredible is that the embroidery is done in a way that the picture appears on both sides of the canvas.
As my trip comes to an end, my only regret is that I couldn’t convince Crystal to join me for this opportunity. As I saw and did so many things in China, I often wished she was there with me. Some things would’ve been a tough adjustment for her, but I think she would’ve really enjoyed the experience. Even though I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the experience, after two weeks I am ready to get back to my wife and life in the United States. I enjoyed visiting China, but I don't want to live there. I miss home and according to Crystal, home misses me.
