Kashmiri Neck Design

Inspired from Jizee's blog, I tried my hands at this simple chain stitch

work with Mercerized mixed color thread.

Kantha Work Blouse

Check out the Kantha work embroidery I did on a blouse piece. Picture is not doing any justice to it, it is more brighter.

Kutchwork Saree

Atlast completed the embroidery on this saree. I did it non-stop in the beginning when my father was around but after he left, it was difficult to do with such fast pace with a baby in hand.

But, I am glad I completed it and sent it to my sister. Could not take better pictures because in the last minute, a friend said she can take some stuff to India and off I sent it through her. Later realised that I didn't take a picture of that one.


Picture is not even 10% closer to how it looks exactly. I will take a better picture when I go to India next time.

Bandhini Painting

I had started with some picture in mind but ended up with a different one altogether.

This really looks very childish like to me and immature with the kind of colors I chose.

It does't go with any kind of decor in the house.

Not so happy with this one.

Kutch Work: Kurta

Yesterday evening I went home and saw that my son was sleeping. And when he sleeps, I jump into making something that is either pending or start something new. I wanted to design something on the kurta fabric that I got recently, and I didn't have mood to draw it on graph sheet first and then trace it. So, I used my hand free style to draw the diamonds and there we go, could do it in less than 5 minutes. I then started the design and completed in less than 2 hours. This was simple to make and so no fuss. It would have taken less time may be but I had to remove one whole line after making the design in order to make it more thicker.

Wall Kutch Work

I have been working on the Kutch Work design on Aida fabric to hang on the wall. Started a week ago, let's see when I will get to finish that.

Update: May 26. One border has been completed on this one.
