I Explore To Be Creative

Hiiii...Though I have not posted my creations.. I have been keeping busy..;) today I've added a pattu pavadai that  I stitched for my little A.. 

Going step by step starting with the stem. Have a few more stem motifs to get done then will go to the next. Doing one color all the way at a time has been much more easier than getting done each motif on a whole.. So me getting back to stitching.. See u soon

I have used satin stitch for the petals, hungarian braided chain for the green thread, and detached buttonhole stitch for the center. I tried to match it with thw birder design stitches.. I still am working on the border but wanted to check out how the pallu motif would look once done.. What say... is it ok?? Any suggestions

When one has a good teacher.... Stitching can be fun... A big thank you to Mrs.Vani at http://artvani-vani.blogspot.in/2010/03/method-of-stitching-sari-blouse.html .. I stitched a blouse for my mom.. I made a few alterations .... A little here and a little there and its came out ok.. One thing I learnt is.. Patterns are just the basic guidlines for a person to make a garment...  The final stitched product depends on the shape and structure of the person wearing it.. I'm off now to do my next.. Will update soon..

Finally I settled for a simple design and started on it. But I don't get much time to sit with it. It's a very slow progress but what I have done so far is this... tatda..

I started this project with the hope of finishing it soon..I had it all planned out.and it was coming out just fine until this point..after finishing so much i'm stuck now at deciding what design to do in between the lines, should i use multi colour thread and with what stitch. I had decided on circular design with the chemanthy stitch but at this point i am doubtful about how good it would be.. any suggestions???
