Embroidery

We were privileged to see the best of Kashmiri embroidery at Andraab in Jaipur. These hand stitched designs were just exquisite with the back as good as the front. On wool mainly or silk, they ranged in size from shawl to bed cover and depending on size and complexity may have taken several years to complete.
Mubashir explains the design source and the time and skills involved.
Applique and embroidery combined.
