Dabka or Dapka is a detailed type of needlework from Rajasthan in India. It is usually done at the final stage of the production process to add finishing touch embellishments.

At least three to four worker workers are required for a detailed and fine work at the same time on the same piece. First a thick cotton cord is stitched on the pattern to be embroidered. Then on this cord prefabricated metal thread is looped on with an ordinary stitching needle. The patterns mostly made are of flowers, leaves, or birds. Skilled embroiders can even do french knots with the smallest size.

Hey, wait a minute, how is that the same thing??!? That’s a quilt?!

Double layer quilting. Denim on top, rainbow bricks under. Sandwiched on top of batting and backing. Quilted. Bound. And now trimming away to show the bricks one trimmed piece at a time.

Work in progress

A man goes to see his Rabbi in a panic, and he gets there and he says, “Rabbi you’ll never guess what! My son has run away to become a Christian!” And the Rabbi responds, “Well you’ll never guess what! My son has also run away to become a Christian!” So the man asks the Rabbi what to do and the Rabbi says that they should pray to G-d. So they pray and tell him of their plight and G-d replies, “You’ll never guess what!”

This 4 minutes took 5 years to make.

Timelapse photography on this scale is the definition of a labor of love, because if you didn't love it, nothing else would compel you to do it.
