For TAST: cretan stitch

These are my experiments on cretan stitch for TAST 2012 conducted by Sharon...

Stem Stitch: Salwar set

This kameez had all black prints where as in dupatta there were some red prints. So thought to give some red tinge to kameez. So did stem stitch on it with 2 strans of silk thread. For sleeves I have done muvvala kuttu.

Long&Short Stitch:Salwar set

This is again one of my old works on a cotton material. long and short stitch for flowers and leaves done with 2 strands of silk thread.

Chicken Scratch Embroidery: Kurthi

Again this is one of my old works done on a kurthi with chicken scratch embroidery. I just love this simple but elegant stitch. Material for this dress is semi silk and used perle cotton threads.
