At last I am able to finish navar work which I started some time back..
This embroidery is done to hide the stains on my old benaras saree. Saree is having design except on pleats part. So I did small motifs where there are stains and to match with I have done big bunches. Totally I did 3 big bunches and few leaves and flowers where there were stains. I did buttonhole stitch for leaves, satin stitch for small flowers, french knots in the center of the big flowers and stem stitch for stem stems. I do satin stitch with another method. will show you some day..
How do you like it!!?
