This is a Kasuti motif which I have embroidered in a cotton saree. The saree is having a border in both the sides and I have planned to do kasuti motifs for the pallu and the body. Till now I have done 4 motifs like this and more than 25 small motifs in the pallu. Still more to go and I will post the picture of the saree once it is done.
I have used 2 strands of anchor cotton embroidery thread and 2 strands of silver color silk thread for the motif.
Sorry for the picture quality since it is taken using mobile camera.
I will be happy if u pass on your comments about this.

Thanks to all.
ReplyDelete@Sudha. You can get more designs through the net. If I saw a worked piece I try to draw the pattern in a graph sheet and then I will work on that. You can get some patterns in www.embroidery.rocksea.org. Try googling for kutch work. You will get lot of patterns.
I saw your boarder which you did for a fridge holder and I am using that on my sleeve note book , will upload the photo once I am done . so far what ever you have done is great work. thanks
