In Pushkar, I went with Ravi and this time Tanya as well to the rose factory. They were in the middle of setting up the complicated process of rose essence extraction. It was fascinating. Whilst there I bought rose essence, rose water to clean skin, rose water for consumption and rose jam! I decided to use some of the square of hand block printed cotton from the Anokhi museum to make these rose pillows. I used waxed thread to make tassels in India and yarn from my stash in Israel. So far I have made 4 pillows. I used dried rose petals from the market in Pushkar and have doused one side in rose essence.
