Gilt Glass

Gilt glass or ceramics where never my favorites. With the trend for Moroccan and Turkish tea glasses & cups in the market I had to change my mind. Now when I look at these designs I am a total convert!







All are from Eisch.

Suzani

I am obsessed with this wonderful form of embroidery from Central Asia. In trend for quite some time, the work is every where! Furnitures, bolster pillows, throw pillows(cushions), bed linen, wall hangings, curtains/blinds, bags,shoes....to mention a few. The colours and patterns are so overwhelming! Want to know more about them?...Find it here and here.
Also checkout these on line stores...Usbek Crafts.Yurdan.com., Tessera & Material Recovery.

Yellow and Grey

The combination looks very sublime....The colour yellow is so bright that it needs a colour to mellow it down. Grey does it for yellow! And yellow brightens up the otherwise dull gray. So they really compliment each other!
Here are some egs...

The combination looks aesthetically so pretty, just love it!!!
