Sadi Thread and Shisha Glass Embroidery by Betty Luke (UK only)Sadi Thread and Shisha Glass Embroidery by Betty Luke (UK only)
Ref: BOOK20

Sadi thread is made of fine metal, twisted into coils. It is used as a surface decoration, which can be cut, stretched or curved into shapes and then couched, beaded or laid onto fabric. Shisha is mirror glass, hand cut into small geometric shapes. The pieces are attached to fabric by a frame of threads, sadi or covered rings or by a covering of sheer material. Sadi and shisha have strong traditions in lavish and decorative embroidery. Emerging from the Middle East and India respectively, they have appeared in embroidery across the globe as expressions of bold and celebratory embellishment. Betty Luke has combined these exuberant traditions with the seductiveness of art silk threads in 19 original contemporary designs. By laying out the techniques used for the sadi and shisha, drawing on popular embroidery stitches and giving clear step-by-step instructions, Betty also provides the basis for creating your own unique designs using these unusual materials.
