Thailand inspired Couture Embroidery Panel

This panel is my tribute to Thailand.

I've spent in Bangkok two challenging but amazing years (who can claim the 2020/2021 period not challenging?). When it was time to make the complex “goodbye” decision, I thought it would be nice to take a small piece of Thailand with me. So I decided to apply some of my embroidery skills to create a unique piece that reminds me of good days.

A New Embroidery Experience

The idea of this project came to me when I studied couture embroidery. I've noticed that the course has limited information about techniques. So I decided to fill the gap.

Hand Embroidery

I combined two primary embroidery methods: and Goldwork. Another challenge was working with the traditional local “Embroidery with beetle wings” technique.

Hand Dyeing

To make this piece truly unique, I decided not to use ready-made silk fabric. Instead, I used the multilayered dyed method to get a more sophisticated base for further embroidery.

Detachable Elements

It was important to create not the usual wall decor but something more complex. So, the idea to do a multipurpose project came in. This is not only a nice panel but also a set of flower brooches that can be used separately as a fashion accessory.

And just for fun, there are no both oriental music motifs or “One night in Bangkok”, but something completely unexpected as Thailand itself 🙂
