Kasuti embroidery on Duppatta

Kasuti embroidery is a traditional form of hand embroidery that originates from the state of Karnataka in India. It is known for its intricate and artistic designs that are created using a variety of stitches.

Key features of Kasuti embroidery include its geometric patterns, symmetry, and use of motifs inspired by nature, such as flowers, birds, and animals. The designs are usually stitched on sarees, dress materials, pillow covers, and other fabric items.

I have already designed two sarees with kasuti embroidery, one is on red silk cotton with zari border and another blue with zari border. This time on a duppatta. This is not actually authentic kasuti. Authentic kasuti is done using net fabric. This one some designs are traced on the fabric. I am working with authentic kasuti too.

It will look good on any dark colored kurti. What do you say?
