Shishadur


Students transformed paper bags into shishadur or mirror embroidery vests. Shishadur is the ancient east Indian art of stitching bits of mirror to cloth. lesson is from the book 'Brown Bag Ideas From Many Cultures' by Irene Tejada. Students used tempera paint, tin foil and sequens to make their 'shishadur'.
