To this anniversity a portrait where made by Yao Jianping who is the founder of suzhous silk museum. Yao told that she had problems getting right shades of the queens skin and also the hat. When she found the right colours for the string she divided these up to even 16 times thinner strings to make it really detailed. The portrait took one year to make.
