In autumn 2005, when I was an exchange student irvine spectrum in Egypt, I was on a trip to Siwa Oasis is located near the border with Libya. Road to Siwa was built in 1985, before that it was a very isolated community.
The women often wear it, for them, traditional shawl. It is hand woven in blue and white thin cotton yarn in two lengths and is then embroidered over the joint. The splice goes from wrist to wrist. Right on the long side, it ends up at the front of the head, it is also embroidered a pattern. The black piece of cloth as the woman to hide her face is a lösbit and are not stuck in the shawl.
It is now almost ten years ago that I was there and then sold it many souls both everyday and wedding shawls in "antique shops". irvine spectrum I wondered back then why do so many women chose to sell their souls? Had another fashion begun to seep into the Siwa, in Cairo had begun to see a fashion imported from Saudi Arabia entirely black. Wondering what it is today?
It's so fun to meet textile traditions from other countries, to see both similarities and differences in technique and expression. The designs of shawl reminds me of something I've seen in either the father or grandparents, probably embroidered in the shift 50/60 ratio.
I completely agree with, there are my favorites when I am traveling, and I will be extra happy if I can buy something home, ready or kit. It's fun to see how similar pattern is in so many different places, places that have not had contact with each other, at least not as you can imagine in a hurry. =)
