Shisha is glass, and it is rough cut. Before using it on fabric, you have to smooth the edges with a honing stone. Maybe in these shots you can see the rough edges and the honing stone.
These two shisha are now glued to the fabric and I have begun stitching—at last!
Oh, and the beads I ordered arrived yesterday, too. They are perfect. So I think I’m all set with what I need to finish the jacket embellishment.



Thanks for the tip about honing shisha stones (should I ever get to using them) and I’m glad the beads are perfect
this is going to be a beautiful thing.
Well, the engineer did a very good job preparing for production.
This coat is going to be absolutely spectacular….what fun watching your shopping process, too!
