TAST week 17 - Wheatear stitch

Wheatear stitch

I did a small project TAST week 17.

Embroidered and crochet wall hangings

Sangu  chakra

 The sangu chakra wall hanging was embroidered on felt cloth with silk threads. I cut the designs on carton boxes (like beverage, soap, toothpaste packings) and used it as base. This art, was learnt by me  from Smt Rajalakshmi. This is one of the big hits of my hand works.

 Green house:  Anchor stitch kid wall hanging.

 Paper embroidery:  I pricked  holes on chart paper according to the design and embroidered with silk thread.

 Crochet wall hanging:  I used the old Pressure cooker gascut  for frame, crocheted with pink and green woolen thread.  I stick flower kundan stones  around the circle.

 Crochet thoran:  crocheted with green and pink woolen thread.

 Crochet doily:  For this doily I used baby pink woolen  thread

 Crochet doily: crocheted with  mercer crochet cotton thread.

Wall Hanging: Kundan work Sri Krishna

kundan work:  I used kundan stones, beads for jewelleries. 
The photo was fixed on felt cloth and  the border was designed by silver colour glitter paint.
