Heritage cape

This cape was made as a response to Lora's research into her half-Armenian heritage. Carnations and tulips are depicted through hand painted and pleated silk fabrics and single-line drawings translated into stitch with Russian braid. The piece is in the shape of a cape but is intended as a wall hanging, to reflect decorative vestments found in Armenian Orthodox churches.
