Mirrors

Mirrors, often referred to as "shisha" or "abla" in embroidery, are commonly used to add a reflective and decorative element to textile projects. In this technique, small mirrors are incorporated into the embroidery design, typically secured with stitches or surrounded by intricate threadwork. Mirrors in embroidery can be arranged in patterns or used individually, creating a captivating play of light and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the embroidered piece. This traditional embellishment is widely employed in various cultures, adding a touch of sparkle and cultural significance to the finished textile.
