Mishti- Jamdani Coverups


As part of diploma project, a capsule collection of Jamdani coverups for Ereena.
Jamdani is a supplementary weft technique of weaving, where the artistic motifs are produced by a non-structural weft, in addition to the standard weft that holds the warp threads together. The standard weft creates a fine, sheer fabric while the supplementary weft with thicker threads adds the intricate patterns to it. Each supplementary weft motif is added separately by hand by interlacing the weft threads into the warp using individual spools of thread. The result is a myriad of vibrant patterns that appear to float on a shimmering surface.
Set of simple geometric shapes like squares, circles, triangles formed motif vocabulary.
Variation in the number of picks between each manually inlayed yarn to break monotony in the the composition.
