Having been given the royal tour of the Armenian Museum of America (Watertown, MA) by Curator Gary Lind-Senanian -- as much of a gem as any of the gems in the cases -- Marash Girl was caught by the beauty of the 19th Century embroidery (probably a bed covering) from Marash -- embroidery done on hand woven cloth -- stitched crosses upon stitched crosses upon stitched crosses. Marash Girl recognized the embroidery, of course, because she has a piece in that very style framed and hanging on the second floor wall of her Victorian home . . . She will picture her piece in a future post -- but for now, here is the piece of Marash Nakhush hanging on the wall of the Armenian Museum of America.

Fine work.. the embroidery on the clothing at the Armenian Museum is also beautiful, though not so amazing as this piece
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this! I'm trying to make some plushy toys but I really hate eye beads, and being inexperienced with stitching I didn't know what to look for ^^ this is a great tutorial , thank you! <3
