Notes on Culture & Antique Art, Ethnic Decor & Vintage Fashion | Wovensouls Art Gallery
A textile art that is now extinct – the Phulkari Bagh – embroidery so thick that the base cloth cannot be seen – yet made with extremely fine untwisted silk floss. The technique requires a skill so fine and so painstaking that it took over 10 years to complete a piece by experienced grandmothers and became the pride and joy of a bride’s trousseau.
