Silk embroidery art

I thought you all may find this interesting. We've just launched a company that specializes in machine embroidered silk art. You can check out our work at artofsilk.com.

We are focused on following with the style of Chinese traditional silk embroidery with a more modern look. I would love to hear any thoughts or feedback you have on the pieces, the concept, etc. Thanks a lot!

what an amazing state of art, both of you Chris and Robert, you've got a style in your class. Thumbs up, hope can learn something like that too :)

Wow, your work is absolutely beautiful! I love the Galloping Horses especially. I agree with Robert, I think you could easily charge double (if not more) than you currently have your pricing. He mentioned shipping costs, but also the cost of the frame! You can't buy a frame at Hobby Lobby for less than $20-$25. Just my two cents, though.

definitely beautiful work! A shame your prices are so low because to me it further devalues the work as a commodity and not art. Shipping costs half as much as your product (framed even!) so the shipping company has not devalued the perception of their service.

But I am just bitter because we dont do silk embroidery! lol

Thanks LadyDes and AJ for your compliments!

Robert, I really appreciate your feedback. In some cases the reason shipping costs are higher (especially for the large framed ones) is because the silk art needs to be padded and packaged into large boxes in order to protect them, so unfortunately the price goes up because of the size of the box.. hopefully we can find a way around this in the future.

Since we just opened the pricing is promotional and may not always be this low :).. but I totally understand what you mean when you say that a low price can alter the perceived value of a product!

I looked at your website, cool to see someone else in the embroidery art business as well! Good luck and maybe we can trade notes in the future!
