Info

The design is a combination of traditional folk motifs which tent to go in ancient stories such like "Vinh quy bái tổ" (A successful man come back to his hometown, proudly bringing back home her newly wed woman, and followers...), "Chợ phố" - town market, or the scene of wedding on the boat...; plus my designs that inspired by my very first impression of Hoi An as its own citizen: the favorite buildings or corners, festival of boat racing with joyful men, street food vendors, young girls in áo dài after school time... The colors, as a channel to express my emotion, therefore is fully alive and happy. Then all the embroidered pieces are appliqué-ed on to a big hand-weaved fabric with the dimension of 3mx30cm.
In order to follow the tradition of northern old type embroidery, especially how to embroider the faces, I have to actually "walk the miles", track back to one of the 3 biggest embroidery craft villages where.. no one do the embroidery anymore, find the very old artisans who can tell me how to do it properly. Lucky me they're touched by my passion toward this work and happy to pass all the knowledge so that I can keep the tradition. Even my neighbor next door to the atelier is from an embroidery craft village and I talk to them many times, like a small pupil, sometimes they're impressed by a girl with such big love to embroidery. By working on this project, I built many bridges, was supported by many interesting people, and therefore learn a lot. It is very meaningful to me. 01
