In this case, in order to create these little balls of thread that are beautiful and very 3D, he needs to actually employ a sort of twisting technique. And this is not like other hand embroidery. Most hand embroidery, thread goes into the fabric and out of the fabric. And he's creating these sort of branches of thread. Really difficult and precise work. His execution is flawless. No way to do this with a machine. This has to be done by hand. It's— Thread for thread, take for take, sew per sew. There's nothing like this. You can't recreate this. And this is actually a technique I've only seen in India of the 39 countries we've traveled to so far. So beautiful.
