I have been told its to do with 8 immortals?

I was wondering if the bit of chinese writing in red was the artist and what the writing actually says.

Please help :(

The four big characters in black are 八僊過海 - eight immortals crossing the sea/ocean. 僊 is a variant of 仙.

The red characters are 甌繡, the name of a type of embroidery originated in Wenzhou.

And the picture on the right is upside down.
