  Zen Circle
OM and Babao PendantOM Mantra PendantTibetan handmade beads bracelet

Zen art exemplifies the Zen ideals of simplicity and spontaneity, and most often takes the form of calligraphy and simple ink drawings.

The Zen circle, a popular motif in Zen art, represents the entire universe in a single, perfect stroke. Although simple, images like this are difficult to paint successfully and thus must be done with a clear mind focused on the task.

  HuLianxian, Originator of Xiang Embroidery

Mr. Hu Lianxian, was a craftswoman in the late years in Qing Dynasty, with the ancestral home in Anhui Province. In her childhood, her father moved to Suzhou to work as an official, so she went to Jiangsu as well, and lived in Suzhou for long time, and therefore, she was titled as the "Suzhou People". Since her childhood, she began to learn the Suzhou-style embroidery, as well as the painting. After getting married in 20, she went back to Changsha, Hunan Province, and making a living with her embroidery. Later she established the "Needlecraft by Ms. Hu Lianxian" and the "Wu Caixia's Embroidery Workshop" to make the embroidery works, making the research and the improvements of the needle rules and material selections of the embroidery, and imparting her skills to the women in poverty.
