[FONT=lucida console, sans-serif]Chinese artist Qiao Lianchun, along with 25 other artists, is claiming the Guinness world record for the longest piece of embroidery.[/FONT]
[FONT=lucida console, sans-serif]The 25-meter-long, 0.96-meter-tall embroidered work of art may not look like much from a distance, but it took a team of artists two years to complete. Made up of 3, 150,000 stitches, the embroidery inspired by the classic Chinese painting ‘Along the River during Qing Ming Festival’, involved the use of 50,000 meters of thread, in 120 different colors.[/FONT]
[FONT=lucida console, sans-serif]Embroidery is a really fascinating art, and Qiao Lianchun took it to the extreme. He spent 27 months just traveling trough China’s Yunnan Province, looking for talented artists and craftsman to help him fulfill his dream. The “stitched painting” was created at Qiao Liachun’s factory, in Baoshan, and ever since its unveiling, people from all over China have been coming to see it.[/FONT]
[FONT=lucida console, sans-serif]After he receives his Guinness record, Qiao Lianchun hopes to sell his embroidered painting for $500,000.[/FONT]
