The lacy tear drop shape referred to in modern times as “Paisley” is of Persian origin. The design has been used throughout the ages in various ways and called by several different names. The motif was a popular embroidery/stamp pattern in the early 1500’s in Persia (known today as Iran). Its popularity was immense and textiles were set up to duplicate the design in many different ways. The tear drop motif was so well liked that the English decided to bring the pattern to Scotland in the early 1800’s. Actually, a town called “Paisley” was set up especially where mills generated fabric with the paisley designs. The motif is well used on Kashmiri shawls as it resembles the “mango” in shape. The half of the Ying Yang resembles it as well. Elaborating on my maternal
Persian influence, the “Paisley Floral” idea came to me as the shape itself can be depicted in so many ways. The Persian artistry showcases the paisley amongst many floral shapes. That became my influence in creating the collection. Of course I wanted a modernistic look to it as well so I worked in such a way that it would appeal not only to the younger generation of today but also the young at heart who can recall the 60’s and 70’s quite fondly. “Paisley Floral” designs are a mixture of the 4x4 and the 5x7 hoop. Two freestanding lace fringe designs are also included in the collection. Designs can be purchased individually or as a collection. I hope you will enjoy using these designs as much as I enjoyed creating them.
