Shanghai Folk Crafts

　　Folk crafts originate from people's daily lives and carry a strong rustic charm. The wide variety of products comes in diverse forms—silk velvet birds and animals with lifelike poses and vibrant colors; intricately structured and richly decorated folk lanterns; artificial silk flowers with delicate designs and elegant hues. There are also simple yet expressive dough figurines and painted sculptures; uniquely styled paper-cuttings and engraved paper art; exquisitely painted ornamental eggs; vivid ethnic dolls; dignified and classic imitation antique bronzes; clay and pottery figurines, as well as ticket collage paintings, wheat straw paintings, fabric collage paintings, and thread paintings, among others.
