Dear Varloo

Thank you for ur words of appreciation. Actually most of my works are well beyond 10 years old. Now-a-days, I am doing a little due to my work and children studies. But, after seeing all our friends' encouragement and enthusiasm I feel to do more and more new designs. I will try my level best to try and post more works. Meanwhile, I will post all my works one by one. I have done a few machine embroidery ones also.

Thank u again for your sweet words of appreciation.

Dear Prabha

TQ for ur FB. I bought that silk saree from Nallis in Chennai long back in 2000. Actually I did not remember the exact cost, but I think it is about 1000 Rs. I got the design traced outside in a shop and they usually do it by zinc powder, so u can also trace the design like that. It is simple. The only thing is u have to pierce holes on the tracing paper.

Happy stitching.

It is dharwad work (the traditional work of Karnataka) done on khadi silk.

Dear Varu,

fantastic work. how do you decide on your works - do you buy only plain or sarees with few designs to work on your own OR do you highlight already existing ones?? for how long you've been into embroidery??? is it for everyone??? how do you decide your designs???

have you done bead works - any particular work on a evening wear????
pls do display if you have.

Love,

So,u are a person to be appriciated. How long do u take ,to finish your embroideries?And was this also bought in Nalli,how much? I have a peach colour garden saree,could u suggest me a design and the colours?. I have decided light blue,violet or black tatting works.thanks.take care .bye.

Hai Varudhini,
I am dumb with admiration for your work and especially your patience. I have the same questions to ask as others, how, why when etc. Do tell us the secret.
