From Indian artisan Sajad, two elephants wearing floral blankets are embroidered onto this pair of cotton cushion covers using aari chain stitching. A hook, or aari is used instead of a needle, which results in large stitches with visually pleasing textures. The stately elephants are stitched on background whorls of mossy green, while the reverse sides of the covers are off-white and include slits to insert cushions.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Sajad
Country: India
"Hello, my name is Syed Sajad Hussain. I was born in Kashmir. I have inherited these rich craft traditions from my ancestors, who have been creating exquisite handicrafts for a long time. Ever since I began, I have been always keen about one thing and that is quality.
"My designs include chain-stitched rugs, shawls, pashminas, hand-painted papier maché, table linens and bedspreads. I think there are a lot of things involved in making your art worthwhile. Apart from quality, the color combination counts a lot. I put a lot of effort into blending colors to create the most unique items. This is the plus in my designs. Though modern style has mass appeal, traditional style is undying and will always be as enchanting as it was 100 years ago.
"You have given me a great platform for artisans, one through which all art lovers can appreciate and acquire unique objects from around the world. And I am sure this relationship with you will open up new avenues.""
