EMBROIDERED CLOTH
 |
Moonflower Whim
- Hand embroidered on a base of either felted wool or velveteen,
this beautiful cloth is meant to be used by a young Nuosu woman
as part of her headdress. But it is equally attractive on top of
a table. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
|
 |
Basil Bloom - Even though patterns repeat, each cloth reflects the
individuality of the woman who embroidered it. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
|
 |
Dahlia Daydream - In this cloth, several different types of stitching
are used—from satin stitches, to cross-stitch, to skillfully
meandering lines. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
|
 |
Zinnia Zigzag
- Another beautifully embroidered cloth. Embroidery floss as we
are used to here can’t be found in Liangshan—women instead use
the delicate strands of thread as part of the design. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
|
 |
Clover Leaf
-
The Nuosu are traditionally herders, and this can be seen in the
motifs chosen for embroidery—in this case, flowers and clover
leafs. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
|
 |
Mossy Meadow -
Another carefully embroidered cloth that seems like a meadow. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
|
 |
Poppy Sky
- Notice how carefully the palate of colors are used as the
women embroider, creating a sense of movement. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
|
 |
Aster Field
- Even though patterns repeat, each cloth reflects the
individuality of the woman who embroidered it. Dimensions: 9.5" x 16.5" |
