Today I want to tell about one of the most amazing and beautiful types of embroidery - Zardosa . Initially, this technique arose in the middle and front, as they said, Asia, in Persia. The embroidery of Zardageni was obtained during the Empire of the Great Mughal, which included India, Pakistan, Afghanistan. And today we can see it in all the magnificence in the Indian embroidery.
Initially, Zardosa assumed an zallest sewing, embroidery with gold, because this word is translated from Persian: dawn - gold, dosage - embroidery.
Perhaps the main feature of the Vardosa technique to this day is the abundance of gold and silver, the deliberate wealth and brightness of embroidery, the use of necessarily metallic or metallized threads. In addition, a woman is widely represented - yes, Daener, this is not only a way of tightening time, but also a wonderful material for embroidery! - Sequins are used everywhere (here in their lack of Indians are not exactly supplied), metal rings, natural pearls and its glass and plastic imitation, gems, glass, beads, and all that glitters and overflow.
By the way about the doors. It is familiar to the Russian man mainly on military uniform - it is a representative to this day and often manually embroidered straps, hats and uniforms of our military, but it can be used to create artistic masterpieces. Come on, the canite is the topic of a separate conversation.
The tissue uses velvet, silk, brocade. It is worth the finished embroidery at all silent, which is only available only to wealthy people, or is bought for special occasions - a wedding, a national holiday, and so on. In antiquity, wall tapestries and ponnes for horses and elephants were embroidered.
Of course, there are few people embroidered in real gold or silver thread - it is expensive and impractical, it is not suitable for special order, and in general, expensive materials began to replace more affordable, but no less beautiful, which is the embroidery itself become more affordable.
Embroidery Zardageni The process of time consuming and long, they are engaged in both women and men. Moreover, it was originally a man who was engaged in this embroidery. Unlike Russia, in the east, the question of the normality of the "man that embroiders" is about the normality.
As for the motives, it is, above all, plant ornaments, as well as stars, flowers and notorious "cucumbers", which in this technique acquire a unique embodiment.
Since embroidery is usually performed on large panels, it is usually involved in operation at once several master. The fabric is stretched on a large frame.
With all the magnificence and at the same time complexity of embroidery in the manufacturing process, the simplest tools are used - a very thin hook and needles.
