In August 2006, Peters, who had once worked as an artist and a teacher in the US, traveled to China. Why？ She was searching for a magical coat, which she had seen in a book about textiles when she was a student in Paris. She eventually found the coat in Guizhou, and she quickly realized it was an item of the Miao ethnic groups＇ traditional clothing. Peters met many Miao people in Guizhou, and she was fascinated by the minority group＇s history, culture and beautifully made crafts, such as the batik-dyed clothes.
