Katazoma Slow stitched Precious Purse

Katazoma is an ancient form of paste forming the print and indigo dyed.  this piece is lighter than the traditional indigo dyeing and is it over 100 years old.  I have slow stitched to enhance the beautiful fine print. The reverse is a darker indigo piece. I have used the used a red zip with a brass puller and lined in a Liberty print.

Size 10cmx12cm it is the perfect little purse.  and again there is only one.

The reason why I always use red thread:

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. — Ancient Chinese proverb
