Shadow work saree pallu

In the beginning of this year I have started to do shadow work in a saree. I have completed 3/4 of the embroidery and today I am showcasing the pallu part of it.  Earlier I have posted the motif here.  In that I have embellished it with more stones.  But finally I have decided to reduce the number of stones and this is what I have come up with.

5 big motifs are there.  The design is from Anchor needle n thread magazine.  Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. My photgraphic skills....................

I have to complete the flowers along the borders.  Thought of completing within next week.  But I ran out of  my pink thread.  So it will get delayed in completing this project.  And next week I will start of a project in kutch work.  Will come up with some crochet finishes before the final ta..da.. of the saree.  Till then, Happy embroidering.

I am  linking this post to stitchery link party.

New start in the new year

Hello Readers,

      Happy New year.  This year I have planned a couple of projects so that I can have a regular stitching and complete it.  Will list them in my next post.  One of them is a shadow work project in a saree.  The design I have taken is from Anchor Needle n thread magazine. 

The color of the saree is pale yellow and it is looking like white in the photo.  I was not able to capture the exact color.  I have completed one motif and today it is there for you to see.  The stones will be glued only after the complete embroidery is done.  For the time being I have placed the stones in the places where I am going to stick it.  Used two strands of anchor thread for the lines and 3 strands for shadow work(double back stitch).

A close up.

I have some FO's to show u.  So keep watching my space.  Till then, Happy embroidering.
