Incredible Suzhou Double-side Embroidery! Can you image two totally different pictures are from two sides of one embroidery? One side is Prince Charles, but the other side is Princess Diana.

苏州双面绣，真是不可思议。最经典的要数下面这幅双面三异绣，一面是查尔斯王子，另一面是戴安娜王妃，内容（人物）、颜色和针法都不同的双面绣。

查尔斯王子

戴安娜王妃

苏绣工艺是以绣针引彩线，按事先设计的花纹和色彩，在丝绸、棉布等面料上刺缀运针，通过绣迹构成花样、图案、文字以取得艺术效果。苏绣具有图案秀丽、色彩典雅、针法丰富、绣工精细的特色。

These embroideries look like paintings, but they aren't paintings. If you come close to look at them, you will agree they sound better than paintings. 

苏州女子性情柔和，心灵手巧，擅长慢针细活。苏州绣娘有 10 多万人，家家有刺绣，户户有绣娘。

在苏州工作的美国一家子饶有兴趣地欣赏绣娘刺绣, One American family who live and work in Suzhou are very interested in Suzhou girls' making embroidery

竟然是一对双胞胎, They are twins.

" 劈丝 " 是苏州刺绣工艺之一，即将一根花线分为若干份。注重合理用线和丝理的变化。还根据不同的布质、色彩及题材，不但灵活综合运针，而且花线劈丝粗细合度，从而充分表现物体形象的质感。One small string can even divided into over fifties smaller strings.

如苏绣金鱼尾，用线要细，排针要虚，才能表现轻薄、透明感。绣鱼身线条就要略粗，排针密，才能表现浑厚感。
