Padula
In embroidery and rug-hooking, a "padula" floral describes a flower from the artist's imagination, as compared to a flower that can be identified as an actual botanical. This Padula line of clothing celebrates the mastery and imagination of our Ancestors' beautiful and distinct Métis floral beadwork.
