Thank you all @Ambikai: Some of these were made 1-3 years back.. Was working in Pune earlier..so the kits were easily available and was much cheaper also.. I'm basically from Kerala, so whenever I go home for 1-2 weeks, I used to sit till 2-3 AM doing all these kind of stuff(listening to mom's scoldings ).. Seeing all these, my friends also started doing cloth embossing and long stitch.. About my patience:- Sorry I'm very low patient individual. I went to learn machine embroidery and hand embroidery,..and yes..ofcourse..unfortunately/ fortunately..I completed the course..but havent tried any of these after the course.. My mom bought me a plain saree to do the embroidery, but it is still there in her cupboard untouched . My mom didnt get the answer from me for her qn, "if I can sit hours/days for that long stitch,y not on this? "
Very neat work and the Ganesha looks very cute and aptly done. Thanks for sharing these paintings with us, Archana
