Editorial : About the Author Rahul Jain is a textile researcher and historian who lives and works in New Delhi. His publications include technical studies of the traditional Indian drawloom, the woven silks of Sultanate India, as well as the court velvets, sashes, and luxury fabrics of Mughal India. He has also written about contemporary Indian hand-crafted textiles. He runs a workshop of traditional drawlooms in Varanasi. The workshop weaves silk samite, lampas, and velvet textiles modelled on historical Indian and Iranian fabrics.
The book explains that much of the Indian textile designs evolved during the Muslim rule. Although the paper is thick, the ink from markers will still bleed through so you will want another page or something underneath. I was especially interested in the section of Dali's works and Schiaparelli's designs, showing how the two influenced one another. Thus we see that patterns are not entirely unique and have adopted the symmetrical linear geometric and arabesque patterns to the likes of Islamic Art. She gets creative with the types of colors she uses and colors the duplicates found in the book with different schemes. Have many coloring books but none as great as this one.. You can look forward to the publication of "In a Surreal Fashion: The Creative Collaboration between Schiaparelli and Dali" by Robyn Gibson in January 2003 (Berg Publishers). There are a few pictures in the book that have very, very small spaces that are very difficult to color with traditional markers. . I bought this
