Fifth year...

Today this blog is entering fifth year and I just popped in to thank y'all for your support and love.

I can't sign off without showing an embroidered piece today so here it is..

A small purse with shisha embroidery.

                          

The ground fabric is muga silk and I've used both cotton and silk threads for the embroidery.

Happy stitching!

Daisy border

Hi !

I've been working on a saree for the past few weeks , completed the entire border (approximately 10 mts) except the flower center as of now.

                                                  

I couldn't decide whether to do french knots or shisha for the center so this saree will be be sitting in a corner for a while until I decide…

Here is another wip.....

                                         

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy stitching!

Small bag

Hi !

I was kind of busy with diwali celebrations for the past few days and now it’s over am back to stitching…

I’d like to show y’all a small bag which I’d made some time back for my mother.

                                    

                                       

The fabric is silk, the threads are stranded cotton, silk and metallic. Also I'd used mirrors, sequins and seed beads.

I’m busy with a goldwork project which I’ll be sharing with y’all soon, so watch this space. Some of the basic preparations are done but am afraid a couple of things might not work out, let’s see what happens when I reach there.

Happy stitching!

Shisha mirror embroidery

Hi !

I’d like to share the images of my shisha embroidery cover and a WIP which is for my class later this year with y’all.

                                                     

Actually it’s a straight line but it looks wavy because of the wind and my photography skill  J .

                                                                        WIP

Which one do you prefer, monochromatic or multi colour one?

Happy stitching!
