Rajasthani Piece of Art

During last summer we visited beautiful city – Jaipur. Apart from the awesome architecture of Rajputs, I was amazed by the vibrant folk culture of handy crafts and embroideries. The rich and colourful art of Rajasthan is the motivation for this wall hanging.

I saw different varieties of beautiful art pieces there and decided to try one of them. As I didn’t have a design for the same, so draw this pattern using some small motifs.

 

            I wanted to do on white cotton fabric so that I can use all the bright colours like red, blue, green and so on.  And for the first time, I have tried mirror work and didn’t know how to fix mirrors. Thanks to the internet and all craft bloggers for teaching me mirror work. Stitches uses are herringbone and chain filling.

 

             And finally here is the result, pretty satisfactory, isn’t it?

One More Kurti

Hi friends,

 

 I am back again with my embroidery work.

Once I finished white Kurti, which I have posted here in my last post, was feeling like to try a few more. And this time I wanted to to do embroidery with black color only.

 

That’s why I bought a plane deep pink coloured Kurti from the market. I thought I will go for floral design with a simple buttonhole and rope stitch only using black thread.

And the outcome is here.

 

The pink and black combination looks beautiful, isn’t it?

 

Kurthi - Re-designed

Hello  Readers

How are you? I am doing well; my kid is having vacations now and he keeps me busy all the time. So I am unable to carry out any big embroidery projects

 

  That’s why a small experiment with ready-made kurthi and it hardly take time to complete. 

  Last week I bought a white Kurthi which is already with a simple printed patch on the border and neckline.  I have tried some lazy daisy design around the neck and boarder.  Here I have used threads matching the design of the patches.

 

 Now, this is the result… hmmm… not so bad I think…

what you say?? 

 

OK friends see you soon …. Have a good time

Bed Sheet and Pillow Cover Set

Hi all; how are you?

             Hope you all like this bed sheet and pillow cover set done with simplest stitch i.e chain stitch.

This is our third bed sheet project.  Hope you all like this bed sheet and pillow cover set done with simplest stitch i.e chain stitch. It’s a cotton peach color bed sheet, and colors used are deep pink, purple, and olive green and little bit sky blue in between.  
It was a very easy project for us because of chain stitch and the second reason was me and my Amma worked together on this pattern. We finished it “just like that”. :)  You may also try this project easy and doesn't take much time.

Ok… see you … Take care
