@chinaromance: The art of making Ronghua, or velvet flower, dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It refers to the creation of not only floral displays but also animal shapes made of silk on a twisted wire frame. The process of making a velvet flower can be quite complicated. For the preparation, handicraftsmen need to design the pattern first, and then dye the silk before combining it with copper wire to make the velvet sticks.  In 2007,  the velvet flower making techniques were included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage List of Jiangsu Province.  Credit: 王贵富 on TheRedBook #chineseintangibleculturalheritage #velvet #velvetflower #handicraft #handmade #decoration #accecessory #art
