Hair embroidery - Chinese culture fair

© Bartłomiej Magierowski
This young Chinese woman embroiders a painting with her own hair! She has a ball of hair prepared, threads each individual hair onto a small needle and embroiders it with the women's hair in a woven image. She seemed to be just sewing or carving something, but when I stopped next to her and looked closely at what she was doing, I understood how much dedication, precision and patience it required. An unimaginably difficult job!
