Kantha Art Work from India

Kantha Embroidery or Kantha art work

Kantha is one of the oldest forms of embroidery that originated in India. Earlier the Kantha sarees were usually draped by the women of West Bengal as to protect themselves against the cold weather. Kantha work is done by simple running stitches. Motifs such as fish, birds, ducks, trees, mountain, boat, footprint, animals, mosque, ratha, kantha motifs are very few examples.

After a long time, I felt like, I need have some pastel shades and some art involved in it, guess what I got? mesmerizing 'kantha' sarees, these generally light weight, soft, minimal work, down to earth, not noticeable, yet sophisticated if someone who is looking for these specific features than 'Kantha saree' one will adore wearing it. As you can in my portrait, I am not wearing any additional statement necklace to look good, kantha work itself add's the charm, you need not have any additional embellishment to make it look better. One can accessorize it based on the need, as creatively is the limit for artist!
