Embroidery : Kasuti & Kutch work.

hi ashwini!
glad u found my work nice- as for the finish, the final effect in all embroideries depends on the finish!

hi premaja,
:thankyou2: glad u liked them!
i would definitely like to post some more - time permitting because i have gifted my remaining stuff and would have to embroider some more!

 

hi shika,
great u liked them!
as for the colour combination, always use dark bright jewel colours on a v light pale back ground- here i have used jade green, ruby red on a pearl grey back ground. also using bright colours gives it an ethnic look!
