The art of hand-embroidered pieces of clothing and framed silk pictures is an old handicraft tradition in Vietnam. We encountered picturesque natural scenes like flowers, trees, animals and birds, patiently stitched one colorful thread at a time. But also daily life scenes, even portraits can be created with this ancient technique. We were baffled by the vast variety of designs, offered in hand embroidery shops, the vibrant colors and the intriguing depth of the artwork.
