TAST Challenge week 11-Whipped Wheel Stitch

0 comments
This week's TAST challenge is Whipped Wheel stitch. You can view about TAST challenge here.
I enjoyed working with this stitch. I tried the combination of Shisha(Mirror) work and  running stitch with Whipped wheel stitch on a Salwar neck.
 Here it is:
Closer view:
Shisha(Mirror)work, Whipped wheel and running stitch

Made a big motif with Shisha (Mirror) work and Whipped wheel stitch

Visited other's works also. Really stunning works by all of them.
As I've mentioned in earlier posts also, I'm slowly getting back to hand embroidery. Its making me very busy and of course happy.  So you will see lots of work here.
So keep watching ....

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

TAST Challenge 2012- Week 8

0 comments
When I read about this week's TAST challenge , I was very happy. This week's TAST challenge is "Chain Stitch"! I  thought, if I cannot make any new piece, I can display  my  previous works in chain stitch. Last week was hectic at office, so could not make any new piece. Yesterday I had some time to play with this stitch. So embroidered neckline of a salwar-top with combination of tatting (I will write about my works in tatting in coming posts) and chain stitch.

Brown and beige combination neckline design is here:


The motifs are tatted flower motifs and 
embroidered vine designs with chain stitch, attached kundans and highlighted the kundans with chain stitch. Hand Embroidery has unique elegance!






Here are my previous chain stitch works on sarees. For these I had used Crochet needle.



Hope you liked them.

TAST Challenge 2012- Week 7

Already 7 weeks of  TAST challenges are completed, you can read about the TAST challenge here. But I could participate in only 2 weeks' challenges. Feeling good, as I'm slowly  getting back to hand embroidery.  Fingers are getting adjusted for hand embroidery. Thanks Sharon.
This week's challenge is "Detached chain stitch". So here is my work:

While learning hand embroidery chain stitch is taught first. I remember I  had worked on some of my dresses with chain stitch, during my college days. But I don't have any of those dresses to display :( . 



Hope you liked it.

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

This is a stitch challenge. You can see the details here http://www.pintangle.com/. I took this challenge to get back to  hand embroidery, as I was not doing any hand embroidery work, due to lack of time. I missed 4 weeks :(.

Here is this week's challenge, http://www.pintangle.com/journal/2012/1/31/take-a-stitch-tuesday-week-5.html.
My work  is here; I used herringbone stitch to fill the leaves in the design.



I know , not a great work. But happy that I could take up at least one week's challenge.

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,
