The traditional embroideries made of silk were crafted in a wide range of shades, from red to orange and dark brown, which were produced from native plants like madder, and insects like kermes and cochineal. The embroideries also use a rainbow of shades of red from crimson to purple. The blue color was produced from two plants, the isatis, and the indigo plant. The color blue was also attributed to magical protective properties. Green, the sacred color of growth, symbolizes the fertile land of Palestine, and paradise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"tribe-title\"\u003ePalestinian\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe women embroiderers of East Jerusalem live in a village called Zur Bahr, with some hailing from nearby Palestinian villages south of Jerusalem. Alongside their native Palestinian identity, they manage to create a bridge to Western Israeli society. Their coexistence is evident in the friendship and interpersonal relationships they maintain with women from West Jerusalem and Israelis in general, including participating in joint meetings for embroidery, with the support of the Jerusalem Municipality Center.Historically, colorful Palestinian embroidery highlighted with gold threads was reserved for royalty and nobility as it was crafted by skilled professionals. Traditionally done by women at home, this art reflected their beliefs and traditions, wonderfully preserving the multicultural heritage of erstwhile Palestine through ancient motifs and knowledge passed down through generations.Palestinian women embroiderers typically learn their craft from their mothers, using traditional techniques and patterns from villages like Bethlehem, Negev, Jaffa, Tiberias, and Hait Khalil, and sometimes incorporate modern patterns such as flowers and decorative motifs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rootsstudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45996912935131,"sku":"SignificanceOfColors-3","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7588\/files\/SignificanceOfColors-3.jpg?v=1724904329","url":"https:\/\/rurbanstudio.com\/products\/significanceofcolors-3","provider":"Roots Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
