I'm fortunate enough to have a contact in India who regularly visits the local markets in search of unique items. Whenever she finds something she thinks I'd be interested in, she emails me a few photos... I couldn't resist having her send me these two vintage, one-of-a-kind trims which were found in a market in Gujarat. These are made from patchwork sections of hand-embroidery from the Banjara people. Stitched together onto a fabric background, they were at one time used as borders on lehengas (long skirts.)
These trims are beautiful when used for making art quilts, or to add to other textile arts projects. You can also add them as embellishments to purses or clothing, and I like to use them in mixed media projects - they're great for mixed media portraits, or to edge a cigar or shadow box... the applications are endless!
