Module 2: Metallic Magic - Metallic and Shi-Sha (part 1)

Ch 5:  Decorative features of an Indian stitched textile

July 2020:  In this section of the course I was not able to study an Indian textile first hand instead I have used a photograph taken from the V&A museum site of a traditional highly decorated kediyun.  To compensate for lack of an original textile, I have created two pieces of stitched work.  One a stylised sample of the cuff design (in my report) and the other a selection of different ways of attaching shi-sha mirrors to fabric, an examaple below.

My work is now in a sketch book and all notes and photographs recorded in the attached pdf.
