Embriodery Work Sarees Online:
Embroidery or decorative needlework is usually done on fabrics
like the salwar kameez and the saree, often of a picture or pattern, to
heighten the appeal. It is practised in various forms in different parts of
India. Handcrafted embroidery is exclusive and a treasured art since it is
painstaking, time consuming, and a lot of care and dedication is put in by
ethnic practitioners into the work, resulting in flawless creations of
exquisite beauty. Zardozi, Chikan,
Kantha, Bagh, Kasuti, to name a few, are some of the more popular forms of
handcrafted embroidery used to adorn sarees. Zardozi is metal embroidery done on various fabrics
using gold or silver colour coated copper wire along with a silk thread.
Popular since Mughal times , zari thread is employed for zardozi. Real Zari has thread made
from gold or silver. Imitation zari uses gold or silver coated copper wire.
Today mostly zari is made from metallic polyester film where a polyester core
is covered by gold or silver coloured metallic yarn. Chikankari or chikan work is intricate
embroidery on fabrics. An art form since the Mughal period, the design or
pattern print is transferred to the cloth, the embroidery done on it and the
print washed away later leaving only the embroidery behind. Once done using
only white thread on plain white fabrics, today it uses coloured threads too
based on market demand. Lucknavi chikankari is the most unique and famous of chikan
work from among that of the several places in India where this art form is
practised.
Kantha
Work, is essentially embroidery work done on sarees, with a running stitch on
them in the form of motifs. These motifs could be animals, birds, flowers,
simple geometrical shapes and scenes from everyday life. It gives the saree a
wrinkled and wavy look and transforms a plain saree into an extraordinary
creation. Though the running stitch is mostly used for its ease, other forms of
stitch such as darning stitch, satin stitch and loop stitch are also used.
Based on the use of the fabric, Kantha is divided into seven different types.
Lep kantha and Sujani kantha are the popular types. Bagh is a special kind of embroidery
practised by women in Punjab. Heavy and exquisite embroidery on sarees
especially the lehenga type, where the base fabric is hardly visible, it is
mostly done for special sarees for occasions like festivals and weddings. Kasuti is a traditional form of embroidery
practiced in Karnataka, India. Kasuti work is very intricate and sometimes
involves putting a large number of stitches by hand on traditional silk sarees
like Ilkal and Kanjeevaram. Kasuti work involves embroidering intricate
patterns like chariot, lamps and conch shells on the fabrics. Locally available
materials are used for Kasuti.
