Why is it called papier-mâché embroidery?

The style copies the look of Kashmir's painted papier-mâché ware — thickly filled colours outlined in black. It is silk-thread embroidery; no paper or paste is involved, only the borrowed aesthetic.

Is the raised stitching fragile?

It is sturdier than it looks — dense satin stitch anchored through the cloth — but store it work-inward and don't stack heavy items on it. Normal draping does it no harm.

Is the base cloth certified?

Yes — 100% Changthangi pashmina, handwoven in Srinagar, GI-certified with QR verification; the embroidery is documented in the accompanying craft note.

Papier-mâché embroidery takes its name from Kashmir's painted-box craft: satin-stitch worked thick and then outlined in black, so blossoms sit on the cloth like enamel. Here it spreads a spring meadow — tulips, irises, chinar leaves — across GI-certified 100% Changthangi pashmina. The boldest colour statement in Kashmiri needlework, months in the frame, unmistakable in a room.
