Chen Yinghua (3rd R) demonstrates the technique of the Suzhou Embroidery for tourists at her studio in Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province, April 14, 2021. Chen Yinghua, an embroidery artist, has brought her own "universe" created with needles and silk threads, to the opening ceremony of the Space Day of China held here on Saturday. Based in Suzhou, a city with time-honored embroidery arts in east China's Jiangsu Province, Chen's studio outshines its peers with a series of cosmos-themed artworks. The dreamy celestial bodies in her studio are skillfully knitted with the help of multiple silk threads and a needle, just like pictures captured by satellites in the outer space. Chen has created 26 pieces of universe embroideries since 2006, including the Milky Way galaxy, sunspot, Neptune and the Leonid meteor shower. (Xinhua/Li Bo)
