ACEO ORIGINAL, SERIES NAME: Garden Path, No 4 of 7, labeled and signed. This ACEO (Art Trading Card) is made from a piece of India’s Vintage Beaded and Embroidered Sari Material. It is completely finished and suitable for display or framing.
I believe that there is no more beautifulembroidery on earth than that which comes from India. For centuries, families haveembroidered elaborate wedding clothing for their children beginning at theirbirths and families have donned elaborately beaded and embroidered veils andgarments for festivals and celebrations of all kinds.

This ACEOis a small sample of some of this amazing handiwork. It is literally asculpture on fabric done with needle and thread and in some cases,embellishments like tiny gemstones, sequins and beads. The work is so fine andwell-done, it may be hard to believe that it is hand-made but this is 100%hand-made and the original design of the artist who created it.

ACEO SLEEVE: If not framed, this ACEO card will be placedinto a new acid-free and PVC-free archival safe clear sleeve for shipment.

Please note that the easel is not included, it is for display purposes only. These pieces are vintage andhand-made so they will not be flawless and should not be expected to lookperfect.
