About this work

This drawing shows a folded piece of fabric with bright embroidery. The edges have a yellow border dotted with small shapes, and the inside is packed with flowers, feathers, and swirls in blues, pinks, and greens. The fabric looks worn, with some tears and faded spots. The feathers and flowers are arranged in neat rows, almost like a pattern. It looks like someone carefully planned the design before stitching it. If you like embroidery, check out embroidery next.
