After she carefully studied the characteristics of porcelain ware, she applied the painting methods to create four sides of a square vase before weaving them up with a cotton thread.

It transformed the painting from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, a groundbreaking move in the Shaanxi-style cotton craft.

As her works have been sold all over the country in recent years, Xu says she has felt rising public understanding and appreciation of the cotton craft.
