Young artist Tian Qi found that handwork brings her a special feeling. "I am an emotional person, but handwork makes me calm down, and I could even enter into a state of unconsciousness and freedom," she said. "Sometimes I may make some unexpected patterns." Though it's arduous, Tian sticks to handmade creation, instead of using sewing machine, as she believes handwork brings sentiment into artworks.
