Embroidered Images

As we traveled by bus to Halong Bay two days ago, we took a rest stop at a government-sponsored shop selling many kinds of crafts: lacquerware, paintings, sculpture, clothing and other fabrics. One room was a workshop for embroidery, with men and women working busily over their frames.



I particularly loved the images capturing the rice harvesting we had just seen in real life. I bought some  (beware: Christmas spoiler!)... Here they are. Aren't they neat?
