Textiles created by South, Central and North American Indigenous groups make up nearly half of The Textile Museum Collection. Among the most notable are eighth- and ninth-century Peruvian tunics and fragments from the Wari Empire, as well as late pre-Hispanic styles from Peru’s north (Chimu), central (Chancay) and south (Ica) coasts.

“The One” questions why are you here on my planet, in my universe? to do what? If you exists you are here with a purpose. Is your purpose to create joy, happiness, love, kindness and gratitude for my services and sources and resources that I am providing you or are you here to destroy my planet? what is it to you?
“If you are not a solution to my the planet and my well being than you are a problem to my planet”–
Divine Mother Goddess Gaea
Every atom, molecule of energy, every choice, every action, every movement, every living and non living sentient beings, every breadth we take, every beat of our hearts has a purpose. Our physical body’s every cell, orgas, systems, our auras, our astro body, energy field every part of who we are have a purpose. We are created and born with a mission, a purpose and are already provided for everything we need, want and desire to fulfill our purpose. And in the grand scheme of things because we are the microcosm of the macrocosm all of our purpose in whoever we are and whatever we do is to serve only one purpose; that is to serve the greater good of the planet.
And so our purpose at Nisha Designs is to share, introduce, sell and bring our focus, time and energy to meaningful awareness of self and soul. What makes our planet earth and its sources and resources beautiful, purposeful and magickal. How do these amazing art of natural plants, trees, flora and fauna of the planet provide us the wealth, abundance and prosperity in our day to day living. And how there presence in our lives, in our living room, dining room, chairs, table windows create an ambiance of love, balance, positivity, radiant health and harmony. With there presence in our environment, our surroundings they make us feel at peace and at home.
And to feel the energy and understand what is provided for us we must firstly know its nature, its energy and who they are, what they do and what is there magickal purpose for us. And to have them show us how to make use of them in creating products that are beneficial to serving the greater good of the planet earth. After all they are the providers of what we seek, need, want and desire to create. As in every blade of grass, every breadth of air, every spark of fire and every drop of water has the energy of a Divine. Divine Mother Goddess Gaea.
I have found that not knowing the planets sources and resources, its energy, the being of the planet who is responsible and the purpose of her creation creates lack of knowledge and awareness and that leads to misinformation, dishonesty, travesty, destruction and misusing of the planets sources and resources and hence we have a situation of climate change, greed on food and products that are made from planets sources and resources. And anything made from planets sources and resources are for its people provided by the planet and to that everyone has the right to food, to clothing, to home to everything we need to live comfortably here. That is what the planet provides. But instead of focusing on the Divine Being of the planet and what she provides for us we have made our focus, time and energy to beings and things that are not providing us a comfortable life that we have the right to.
Shift your focus, time, energy, awareness to the planet and its well being. And you will live comfortably and you will be supported and provided for. Otherwise one will struggle. Because the being responsible, in charge and in control of the planet earth is the Divine Mother Gaea. But if you go to ‘beings and things we call humans’ that is not the true creator of the planet then you will always struggle, you will always feel lack and separate from everyone and that is the choice you made. No one made it for you. So choose wisely.
And so here at Nisha Designs we bring our self and soul’s magickal and spiritual knowledge, awareness of our divine Mother Earth Gaea’s magnificent creations. So if one wants, needs, desires, chooses now have the ability to change and serve the greater good and be part of her planet, rejoice in her creations not be separate.
We look forward to hearing from you on our beautiful textiles and products.
The process of creating HempWood® Natural Flooring starts in the field. All hemp is sourced within 100 miles of the factory from local farmers. After the hemp is collected, a plant-based adhesive is used to bind full-length fiber hemp stalks. After the hemp stalks and plant-based adhesive are combined, the material is compressed and baked to form HempWood® Blocks.
From the Blocks, 4mm HempWood® veneers are cut for the top layer of the engineered flooring. For the substrate, a 5-layer PureBound® Hardwood Plywood is used. The plywood is ethically sourced from Columbia Forest Products, which is located in West Virginia. By using PureBound® Plywood, we are able to maintain our eco-friendly mission and support the American economy.
After cutting the veneers and ripping the plywood, our flooring is assembled with the help of our PUR glue line. After adhering the HempWood® veneer to the Purebond® Plywood, a tongue and groove profile is cut into the flooring.
The boards are then sanded, finished, and surveyed for any blemishes. Our quality control team hand checks each board and ensures that our flooring upholds our standard of hardness, durability, and beauty.
