This compelling design has its origins in a 1926 hand colorized photo of an embroidered Armenian embroidery from my private collection of "pochoirs", a type of hand-colored photogr aph that was used to document folk embroideries. It features the graceful ramshorn motif alternating with stars and Xs and its half drop motif placement creates a vibrant energy with bands of color that mimic traditional weaving. The bold black, terra cotta and olive green colorway is striking and dramatic. The photo shows it as finished as a cloth for a table or shelf, but it would also be stunning as a pillow or wallhanging Show more
