Here s my motif on which Lesson 6 and 7 stitches are incorporated.
Lesson 6 and 7 includes,
The outcome of all the above stitches are excellent, but I have to work more on each stitch with little more patience and concentration.
Itz really enjoying….
Based on the comments from our Anita, I have made some alterations on my motif, as u know I used different strands for different stitches, that z a mistake from my part, she specified about threads clearly in the needs list, I interpreted it wrongly.
here z my modified motif,
not that perfect I know, I have to practice more …
okie iam in a hurry, she has already posted her next lesson…
see u soon..
Some maintenance and painting works is going on at my home, so iam away from my embroidery hoop for a while , thatz y no work posts, somehow I ll find time for SAL.
In lessons 3 and 4 we dealt with back stitch, double back stitch, whipped back stitch, detached chain variation, roman stitch. See our motif is taking shape rite….
detached chain and whipped back stitch
Roman stitch,
I was unaware that the chikan embroidery is doing with single color thread. I did different stitches with different colors just to distinguish the stitches in single glance ( in future ).
Those who are interested in chikan work, please enroll for the second phase SAL by sending an email to Anita.
Inspired by the works of many of my blogger friends, I too tried on paints….here z the results,
The works are not perfect, anyway my little boy is happy with his mickey mouse…
Anyway trying out new things is really fun, be with me I know there is masters in painting, plz point me the faults, ( if u can find it from the above blurred snaps, the owner of the pillows are not ready to spare that, even for a click..
).
I tried a simple kamal kadai work on a laser chiffon sari,
I am sorry the snaps are not clear, a bit problem with the lighting adjustment I think, and the colour of the sari is little more bright….
We are moving to the Lesson 2 of Chikan Embroidery SAL with Anita of artisticfingers, The stitches are Stem stitch and Chain stitch, two beautiful stitches.
here are my works,

While learning something new, especially hand embroidery, it is always nice to have a friend by your side to guide you through the stitches. Unfortunately I didn’t have anybody until I register for Chikan Embroidery SAL with Anita of artisticfingers. Now iam enjoying the company of so many friends who share the same passion. Thank u sooo much Anita and all my blogger friends.
