Product Description :

Fabric Type: Sulaman
Pattern Name: Kapalo Samek (Kepala Peniti)
Pattern Meaning: The technique you described is known as "thread shading embroidery" or "thread painting embroidery." In this method, the embroiderer uses threads of different colors and shades to create a three-dimensional effect on the fabric. By carefully blending and layering the threads, they can achieve a realistic and lifelike appearance, as if the image is painted with threads. The process of thread shading embroidery is highly intricate and time-consuming. Skilled artisans meticulously rotate the threads on top of the fabric, combining various colors to achieve the desired gradation and depth. This level of craftsmanship requires a lot of patience and precision. As mentioned before, the entire production process, from designing to embroidery and lacework, is carried out manually or "handmade." This dedication to handcrafting ensures that each piece is unique and exudes a high level of artistic quality. Due to the complexity and time required to create such embroidered artworks, it's understandable that the process can take approximately four months or even longer, depending on the size and complexity of the piece. The result is a stunning and intricate masterpiece that showcases the artisan's skill and creativity.
