Floral 8 x 4 cm
An example of Ari or Mocchi work – originally done on leather, hence the technique of working on a tambour frame with a hook – this piece on very fine cotton ground was made in 2001 following the earthquake to raise money for the rescue work – originally part of a curtain – given to me by Anne Morrell.
Adam’s legacy of supremely skilled embroidery continues with his sons.
Both motifs can be seen decorating the cover of The Techniques of Indian Embroidery by Anne Morrell 1994 published by Batsford.
