There are three main types of textile art: embroidery, weaving and applique. Often the embroidery and applique types are combined together in a single composition making it difficult to catalogue as precisely one or the other. Appliques are created in all sizes and are well known as the giant 'tangkas' hanging from the sides of large architectural structures such as the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Embroidered 'tangkas' can be either small or in a medium sized composition. Woven works, generally from China, are very intricate and refined and can be quite large in size.
