Finally it’s done ✨

This mixed traditional hand embroidery is completed. In this piece, I have used a combination of traditional embroidery techniques including zardozi, aari work, mirror embroidery, chikankari, kasuti, and banjara embroidery with the use of cowrie (kaudi).

The motif and overall design are completely original, created by me and not referenced from the internet. From designing the motif to executing the hand embroidery, everything is done entirely by me. The composition focuses on balance and detailing, bringing together different regional embroidery styles in a clean and contemporary way.
