The process involves carefully considering the fabric's patterns, selecting only a few warp or weft threads to secure the material, and employing hidden stitches. This meticulous approach ensures the fabric remains stable without compromising the overall integrity of the artwork, allowing for a flawless presentation on both sides and avoiding visible machine stitching. Each piece is adorned with a small, custom-made copper tag, hand-finished and distressed by the designer, along with a dedicated storage pouch. The item is presented in gift packaging, making it ideal for presents. ★ Please Note: Necklace and brooch are not included. ★ Design Concept At first glance, this fabric appears to feature a traditional pattern of yarn balls in warm pinkish-orange hues. Upon closer inspection, one discovers that it is ingeniously pieced together from multiple similar fabric segments, allowing them to form a cohesive theme. This speaks volumes about the artisan's ingenuity and the immense patience and discerning eye required to breathe new life into fabrics that were perhaps destined to fade away. Examining it closely, the delicate nature of each stitch is so exquisite that one hesitates to dismantle it. However, the original artisan had connected these patterns with single threads. Therefore, the decision was made to preserve the original concept and retrace the artisan's path, reinforcing the stitching by hand to maintain this beauty. The main body is crafted from silk featuring traditional Japanese motifs, complemented by a satin silk fabric on the reverse. The edges are finished with lustrous, smooth semi-precious stone beads, completing its rebirth. As the main component is silk, it is exceptionally delicate, soft, and gentle against the skin, making it perfect for collectors who appreciate a soft, lightweight feel. ★ Care Instructions: Dry clean recommended. Store in the provided pouch when not in use.
