Craftswoman Maysoon Abu Karam Invests in Embroidery on Burlap Bags 

Suwayda-(ST)- Craftswoman Maysoon Abu Karam from the city of Shahba in As-Suwayda Governorate invested her experience in the field of manual work in the art of embroidery over the years by launching her new project for embroidery on burlap bags to produce artistic masterpieces .

The project that Maysoon, a fifty-year-old woman, launched about a year ago, came, as she mentioned during her interview with SANA, with the aim of moving away from the traditional side of work and presenting attention-grabbing items of an aesthetic nature, especially after her love of working with burlap and receiving acceptance and admiration for products of this type.

Maysoon, a member of the Oriental Crafts Association, volunteered her skill with burlap bags, drawing the models she wanted, benefiting from her experience and talent in drawing, and then embroidering them with a needle using threads of different colors, explaining that her work requires precision, patience, and special dealing with the raw material.

Maysoon displayed examples of her project’s work in a number of exhibitions, including the Flower Exhibition in Damascus and a special environmental exhibition in Jaramana in the Damascus countryside.She  expressed her ambition in expanding this project and achieving  widespread interest among the largest number of  people.

The main reason for  her creativity, as she says, is that she relies on the remnants of the environment and recycled fabrics. She used burlap and nylon bags to manufacture women’s bags, curtains, and decorative pieces. She used tree bark on cloth backgrounds to form paintings of human faces. During the past period, many women were trained with the Rural Women’s Department at the governorate’s village level on recycling nylon bags.
