Crafty girls, beautiful handwork

A embroiderer sews up her hand-made cross-stitch work in Guxian County, north China's Shanxi Province, May 15, 2012. More than 5,000 female villagers in the county attended "Pretty Girl Handcraft Production Association" established three years ago. The association, offering a great number of occupations for local farmers, now gets its name from the embroideries and prolific output.[Photo/Xinhua]
