About
You might be thinking what is Mirror no Mirror right? Here the embroidery is referred to as mirror work but instead it has no mirror, just the border or just the frame of the mirror embroidery. The piece is made by Lambani artisans from Yaadgiri, Karnataka. Where the resources are not easily available. Even for the tiniest thread they have to go out of the village to source it, so we though why not remove any additional things, even the colors used are greys even if the same shade is not there for the second round one can always make it organic and one of a kind for each piece. Whichever piece you own would be different. Always different. We think that's how it should be keeping it simpler and meaningful! Better to work with the skills that artisans already are capable of.
It is not possible to stitch mirror embroidery without any support. You will always need something to hold the stitches! Papers are the easiest medium to find and with that the mirror can be of any size, any shape!
And did you see the popup? Sure you can't unsee it. hehe
