I should be/am slowly working on Samara, but i keep returning to the ethnic embroideries of Central Asia.

What if i did this sort of thing:

with these?

Admittedly, silk velvet , *any* velvet is a bitch to sew, slipping, sliding and slithering everywhere but where it’s supposed to go, BUT. I have more patience now with my work, and intend to this all by hand, so maybe a lot of pinning and bulldog clipping?

Or mix with some of the other recent textured fabrics? Yup.

Perhaps some indigo again?

what shape will this one become?
