From Indian artisan Sajad, two elephants wearing floral blankets are embroidered onto this pair of cotton cushion covers using aari chain stitching. A hook, or aari is used instead of a needle, which results in large stitches with visually pleasing textures. The stately elephants are stitched on background whorls of mossy green, while the reverse sides of the covers are off-white and include slits to insert cushions.

Courtiers accompany a Mughal monarch as he sets forth on a journey on a royal Indian elephant. Asha Prabha selects a traditional image for this colorful journal. On the back cover, an ancient postcard recalls the country's great history. Inside, 48 pages of unlined paper are crafted by hand and await your inspiration. The notebook or sketchbook features a cotton cord tie.
