(painting on silk 5" x 5")

Suzani - embroidered textiles from Central Asia came from word "sozan", which means "needle" in Iranian and Tajik,
These textiles were made of several panels of cotton or linen cloth that were embroidered with colorful silk threads. To create the piece the designs were first drawn on the panels in ink by a family member or a hired professional. Many different motifs/patterns that are now largely abstract, or so stylized as to seem abstract, have very old roots and the indicate where they were produced.

Female family and friends of a young girl joined together to help her embroider different panels, and after the embroidery was complete, the panels would be sewn together to form the finished cloth, that would become part of her dowry and the decor of her home upon marriage.
Suzani may be used as walls hangings, bedding, table covers, and curtains among other decor and so come in different sizes and shapes

I love suzani!:)

wall painting/silk panels

Finally I stretched wall painting (inspired by Japanese Art and works of Kano Sansetsu ca.1560-1651 -Artcyclopedia) in my living room, which I painted together with my mom!
