description: Discover the exquisite possibilities of working in the ancient decorative embroidery techniques of sadi and shisha. Sadi thread is made of fine metal twisted into coils, which can be cut, stretched, or curved into shapes and then couched, beaded, or laid onto fabric. Shisha is mirror glass, hand cut into small shapes that are attached to fabric by a frame of threads, a covering of sheer material, or other means. 19 fully illustrated original designs are included here, enabling you to use this lavish form of embellishment to create stunning effects on garments, accessories, cushions, table linens, and more. Detailed instructions for the techniques specific to sadi and shisha offer you the basis you need to create your own designs for these unique materials.
