Taili Reporting Tuesday

Today I designed embroidered silk book covers, taking inspiration from Rajasthani carpets and Aztec murals. The designs were first put on paper and then translated onto silk fabric by our three visiting artisans from Chattisgarh. Only after watching them work on the designs, I can fully appreciate how intricate and time-consuming embroidery is.
