Oblakinja was a type of air vila, it is said she made beautiful dresses out of mist, dew, frost, spider webs and clouds, that is why they disappeared in the morning. The wrap is made as if it was a work in progress of an Oblakinja's dress. One tail is more ragged and "unfinished". It represents the puffy clouds of tussah silk and lurex spider webs, which are interwoven and in the process of making a beautiful dress. The other tail is more blue and misty, with dew drops of water and frost represented with crystal beads and woven only with lurex thread, as if it was to disappear and dissolve into the air itself. The whole wrap is in the colours of a sunrise sky, when the blues of the fading night are struck with reds and pinks of the morning sun.
