There are many talents Indian women possess which least exposed to the world. Kasuti embroidery is one such craft, prevalent in Karnataka and Maharastra, in which the women show their spontaneity and imagination. It is very similar to rangoli and requires much concentration. The speciality is that the design appear similar on the reverse side too. Read about the origin and types of kasuti embroidery here.
This is my humble attempt to use the age old kasuti embroidery to give my plain T shirt a rich look.

Hi friends,
I am so happy that you appreciate my work. But there are so many workers in villages doing this great embroidery for wages to earn their daily bread. To us it is art,but for them it is a job. I wish everyone of us takes time to think and thank the poor women who did the beautiful work on our costly salwars.
