Shahzia Sikander studied the art of Indo-Persian painting and has used it as a springboard for her own unique works. As an artist she is continuously inspired by works created 500 years ago, as well as by the works of other artists. Follow Shahzia as she takes us on a tour of miniature paintings that inspire her at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new season of The Art Project.
Watch for the gorgeous designs on the carpets and walls in the paintings.
Pat Holly (Episode 608) has embraced working in miniature with equally stunning results in fabric. The detail on "Imagining India" is a feast for the eyes. The work was done with a steady hand on her BERNINA, with tweezers, fine thread and luscious silks fabrics! The quilt won Best Wall Quilt at AQS Paducah in 2012.
In show 608, Pat shows Ricky how to apply and build the red and blue bird at the lower portion of this image.
