Absolutely Gorgeous
Seema, each year I look for stars for my Christmas tree. Those made with loving care in India are the best in the world. It is an old art yours, perhaps a dying art. I am privileged to have lived to see and own what is perhaps a dying art. They richly almost regally embroidered in the finest threads and the bead work is outstanding. I don't hang just any old thing on my Christmas tree, but yours are always a part of my Christmas trees. I put up several each year, not just one. Thank you! They are truly a work of art. I feel work of this kind once was part of the rajas and even the Maharajas of India, especially your purple stars. In Western culture purple was reserved in ancient times for royalty. Since the dye came from certain snails purple was a dye fit only for noblemen and royalty.

A Treasure
Parvez A. Warsi, you are an old friend, even though I've never met you. I fell in love with your star ornaments many years ago. The quality of your work is outstanding. They are beautiful. I can tell you take great care in your work. India has always fascinated me. It is one the oldest cultures on the planet. Many arts are sadly dying out. The stars are cherished by me for I know the time and dedication that went into each one. It is an old art. Thank you my friend. Your stars have adorned my Christmas trees for years. I have several sets in different colors and styles. They enhance the beauty of my Christmas trees. Yes, I choose a color and theme. Regardless of the theme, the stars always complement the tree. They are the admiration of all who see them. You are indeed a crafstman of your art. Yes, I consider them art, because art when seen causes something in us to glow and they do.
