Mirror Work Placemat

Made to catch the light.

Mirror work, known in India as shisha or abhla bharat, is a traditional embroidery technique most closely associated with Gujarat and Rajasthan. Small pieces of mirror are held in place entirely by hand, encircled with fine stitches that secure each one without glue or backing. Set against the smooth, lustrous surface of satin, the mirrors reflect candlelight and glassware across the table, bringing a quiet sparkle to every place setting.
