The embroidered textiles of Central Asia inspired the medallion print of our chattra Fuchsia Suzani Zafu Meditation Cushion. Traditionally included in wedding dowries to demonstrate the stitching skills - suzan means needle in Persian - of brides, suzani tapestries date to the 1700‘s. Screen printed in bright pink by master artisans in India, this chattra beauty is accented with illuminating orange, a color significant in Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh faiths, and festooned with a colorful tassel like those seen on the camels of Rajasthan’s great Thar Desert. 100% cotton cover and liner;  adjustable buckwheat hull fill contours to the body. So lovely you won't want to put away your chattra meditation cushion.

the making
Screen printing, one of the earliest textile techniques for creating precise images on cloth, is a multi-step process requiring skill and patience. Fabric is stretched flat then overlayed with a design motif blocking stencil.  A handmade screen is placed on top of the cloth and stencil.  Ink is applied, then a blade is moved across the screen, pushing the ink through to print pattern to cloth.  Often, as with chattra screen printing, two master printers move the blade across the fabric;  the action is meditative and rhythmic. The cloth is then heated to bond ink to fabric, followed by washing and pressing before cutting and stitching.
