Among all
embroidery works, landscape embroidery, floral embroidery, animal
embroidery and portrait embroidery, portrait embroidery requires the
highest hand embroidery skills and techniques. To make the embroidery
portrait look the same as the original picture, the embroidery artist
must use many silk threads of different colors. A top quality portrait
embroidery work may use more than 200 silk threads of different colors.
Besides, the skin part of the portrait embroidery need very fine silk
threads to make. The embroidery artist split one full silk thread to
many thinner silk threads (see the video clip below). One full silk
thread can be split to 16 thinner silk threads (one full silk thread
divided 4 times). The skin part of the portrait embroidery often use
1/16 silk threads. The silk threads are so tightly and harmoniously
mixed that they look as real skin.
Portrait embroidery works from photographs are much
more difficult to make than to make a portrait embroidery from a
painting. Not too many embroidery women are qualified for this job. Any
tiny mistake made during embroidering may ruin the whole embroidery
work. When people are looking at a portrait embroidery from an oil
painting, they may not notice some small differences between the
embroidery and the painting. But when someone is looking at an
embroidery from his photo, it's very easy to find out what is missing
and where is not the same as the real photo.
