As Mother's Day nears, we contemplate how best to thank our mothers. Flowers can seem too ubiquitous to be thoughtful, though this is only true for those who do not know the language of flowers.
In the Victorian era, flowers were used to send tacit messages from giver to recipient. They also held a similar significance in the East, often used in poetry and art to symbolize virtues and well wishes.
In this article we take a look at eight popular flowers and the messages they carry in the both Western and Eastern floriography.

This year we celebrated Earth Day by introducing greener packaging for our silk embroidery art.
When shipping, we try to find the best balance between protecting your purchased art and protecting the environment. After experimenting and testing many types of packaging, we are replacing our foam edges and corners with a combination of recyclable bubble wrap and cardboard. This new packaging both eliminates our contribution to ozone air pollutants cause by the manufacturing of polystyrene foam while reducing waste. In the end it lightens the load on both landfill and our air.

We are excited to announce eight new additions to our silk embroidery art collection, along with a replenished stock of our existing artwork, available for purchase now.

We love the exquisite delicateness of silk embroidery and are constantly striving to enhance the way it is displayed. We are proud to announce several improvements to our framing and mounting that will ensure you can enjoy every single detail of your silk embroidery art.
Our new frames will feature float glass--the flattest glass available. Because float glass achieves a near perfect plane, it offers minimum distortion and maximum clarity, allowing you to appreciate each shimmering thread.
