Applique art

I have lots of bits of fabric lying in my house which I had collected for years..  Eventually since I have kept them with me for so many years I thought I better start making something out of them..So this what I made from some of the fabrics.

I started with a rough sketch I had made some time back.. Drew it on a newspaper and then cut the pieces of cloth accordingly and then stitched them on to the base cloth.. 


I embroidered the fine lines and the details like the crease of the sari, design on the blouse, veins of the leaves with chain stitch. I practiced the embroidery for eyes before attempting on the lady...Then embroidered sequins, beads and did mirror work embroidery lastly..


I think I went overboard with the jewelry:) But I was having so much fun that I couldn't resist:))
