"Mrs. Golshan’s collects embroidered gardens but her city, Kerman, is directly on the boarder of Iran’s hottest desert. Flowers don’t bloom. Birds are rare. The sun bleaches all color away. To create their own Persian paradise, the women in Kerman developed the handicraft of pateh. Sewing each 3D-embroidered work takes a team of women months and years to complete. The final result is a small tapestry, used as a bedspread, some chairs or decorate coffee tables.
Women today who sew pateh, do it at home, watching television or while keeping an eye on the kids. “Pateh is like the friend of the family”, says XXX Golshan. Pateh observed so many circumstances and problems particular to the women of the households, perhaps that was why the main traditional color is red. “The old women said you, pateh, are red because of my blood. Their artwork narrates their lives."

[@BardiaSaeedi]

in the thumbnail of most of your videos, why is the Iranian flag upside down?

[@oxlaey]

+Bardia Saeedi Oh man! Thanks for catching that! (how embarrassing!)

[@BardiaSaeedi]

Hahaha. I looked at it for ages. I thought maybe you were using a kurdish flag.

+Bardia Saeedi I'm happy you looked closer than I did! I flipped it when I shrank it!
