Shisha embroidery , is a very old and traditional technique done in the western regions of India. While the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan excell in beautiful embroideries using small mirrors and beads , the Lambadi ( gypsys of Andhra ) too use a lot of mirrors in their traditional attire . And these Lambadis carefully trim small pieces of mica by hand to produce different shaped shisha or mirrors . It is said that these mirrors were attached to dresses not only to add beauty to the garment but also to ward off evil eye .
sampler is my favorite .
