The pattern on a tubeteika
An Uzbek hat for women from the Fergana valley
Embroidered with the symbol of the valley: cotton plant

At the photo below of a wedding dancer,
which is in my Central Asian women gallery,
you can see how the hat is being worn.
Note the sad bride in the background.

Love these stitches in a kaleidoscope pattern. Btw, this was a great meta theme for the challenge.

What beautiful needlework.
The bride does look miserable, I hope she is only tired!

Wow, that is a beautiful costume she is wearing!! The stitchery here is so lovely too!

Wonder why the bride is sad? Maybe she's actually in love with someone else. I do love the colors and patterns. Very cool shots!
