Work In Progress On Wednesday- Kantha embroidery

I have started many embroidery works-some on sarees and some on dresses. This week starting Kantha embroidery on a Kurti material. The designs are transferred on the material. I am using Anchor thread skeins for the Kantha embroidery on this material:

Designs traced on material for Kantha embroidery

This is the work in progress this week.

I have completed a saree, with brocade border. About this saree I had shared in one of work in progress posts. The brocade has rose pattern weaving all over. I have used the brocade fabric on border, of a Muga silk. The blouse is designed with same brocade fabric, with high neck.

This is the saree design:

A small zari border too attached with the broad border to highlight. I have used small kundan motifs all over the body of the saree.

I have same brocade in pink color , thinking of designing a dress with that. Soon will share the design.

Until then,

Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
