One of the makers
Annu Himmatramka
Painting and appliqué
She has painted since she was a child, and paints what she watches. Her work doesn't only capture the sea — it captures the feeling of standing beside it.

Painting and appliqué is worked entirely by hand, motif by motif, before anything is joined to the cloth. It cannot be rushed and it cannot be machined — which is why every piece differs slightly from the last.
This is a description of the technique, not of Annu. How she came to it, and what she would say about it, is hers to tell.
Her success, our strength.Narimade
Each piece carries the name of the woman whose hands finished it.
