Description :
Gamusa is a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and respect. We have tried recreating it as a wall hanging using Fevicryl Fabric Colours.
STEP 1 : Source the base material
- Take the casement fabric, mark and cut the fabric pieces measuring 5 ½” x 5 ½”, few rectangles of 10” x 6 ½”, 8” x 5 ½”, 5” x 5 ½”, 7 ½” x 5” and 7 ½” x 5 ½” in size.
- We are going to make the traditional Gamusa pattern on the pieces of casement fabric to make a wall hanging.
STEP 2 : Draw and trace the design.
- Take a4 white paper, Draw few Gamusa motifs from the traditional weaved fabric of Assam in each square and rectangle.
- Trace the Gamusa patterns on the casement fabric pieces with yellow carbon paper.
- Paint the motifs by following the actual Gamusa patterns using Fabric Colours Burnt Sienna 201, Crimson 204, Maroon 214, White 227 and Coral Red 266.
- Leave it to dry completely.
STEP 3 : Make the attachments
- Take the painted casement fabric pieces; attach them to each other with a strand of the colourful wooden beads using needle and thread.
STEP 4 : Final look
- Take a 15” X 1 ½” Wooden Plank, attach and arrange the painted Gamusa pattern fabric pieces aesthetically with golden tassels towards the ends with Needle and thread.
