Making My Owl

Here is a glimpse of the handmade process for mirasa's My Owl toy from my trip to the workshop in Bombay (Mumbai). This is only one aspect of the production process. We handcraft all our toys, pillows and accessories using traditional Indian hand embroidery and applique methods practiced for generations.
