Embroidery For MarketFriday

Today I'd like to show you some handmade embroidery from the craft market I have attended last. I wanted to dedicate a whole post to this as it deserves it. Handmade embroidery is not easy, it takes time and patience as well, not to mention talent. After some practice you can learn it but there are people who are not capable of doing a nice work no matter how much they have practiced. That's life, some are good ant one thing, others are good at other things and that's why art is so colorful.

This is a cropped image of an apron. It's part of a Transylvanian folk costume that Hungarian are wearing at festive occasions. As you can see the embroidery is not perfect, it's visible that it's handmade. Black and red are typical colors, the costume is also black and red. The tulip is also typical.

Here's the costume, unfortunately is was the back of it.

There are two costumes here with the same embroidery along with embroidered table cloths, handmade necklaces and a lot of other things.

This is another costume with embroidered apron. The embroidery technique is similar, the pattern is different.

The lace is also handmade.

Summer dresses for little girls on the right, hand embroidered and with handmade lace and some kind of folk costumes on the left. I fail to recognize the region that these costumes are from.

This is another interesting piece, it's some kind of home blessing and it's in German, made by the local German community.

A similar one in red this time.

There were some very interesting pieces here, especially the red one on the right. That was very interesting, caught my eye right away.

A lady dressed in Romanian folk costume.

And a young guy dressed in a different region's folk costume. He was walking up and down the market posing for people taking photos.

More Romanian folk costumes.

And more, plus a bag with floral embroidery that I've never seen before.

There are some belts on the right also hand embroidered wit floral motifs.

There are more on the table and some handmade bead jewelry.

Romanian folk costumes for boys.

And for girls.
