GOND PAINTING


PAINTING DONE BY ME....

My personal favorite....

Gond painting is the traditional form of art.This form of art was firstly introduced in the states of Madhya Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, northern Andhra Pradesh and Western Odisha. Gond paintings materialize like a collage of dashes and dots. The collage combines into bright images of animals and plants, articulating folklores. The art is in black and white as well as colored variety. These pieces of creativity are affluent in color, humor, detail and mystery. Gond art resonates with a culturally distinctive ethos and draws inspiration from myths and legends to images of daily life, as well as emotions, dreams.

COUCHING EMBROIDERY

EMBROIDERY DONE BY ME... Couching, or the couch stitch, requires two threads: One remains completely on the surface, while the other loops through the fabric and over the thread to hold it in the form of the design.   Couching can seem sort of tricky at first, because you have to hold one thread down while you work the second thread around it, but it really is a beautiful stitch .
