The rich tradition of Chinese embroidery
This is an appealing publication, presented in actrattive format. It contains much helpful and enlightening information and the positive aspects of the book are reinforced by the touching enthusiasm of the author, an assistant professor in the Costume Research Section of the Institute of History, part of the Academy of Social Sciences of China. With the possible exception of porcelain, the applied arts of China from the late Imperial period to the present day are poorly researched by both Western and Chinese scholars. This book, emanating from a learned Chinese institution, is certainly timely,especially as the small domestic embroideries under discussion are found in many museum collections and private homes throughout the British Isles and North America. A historical introduction forms the first section of the book. It attemps to place the embroideries shown in colour plates in the second section in a comprehensible context.

An Oc Terra-dweller I’ve created for a role for the story, Malachi!
He’s Kaia’s front warrior of the tribe to take out large groups of invaders on their land, he may be a man with a few words but his actions are quite catastrophic.
Hope you enjoy him!

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
