Zari Indian Embroidery Culture

Hi this is Ruchi on behalf of Expert Village. Now as you can see he's done half way through. the whole process doesn't take more than fifteen to twenty minutes. And he's just about to complete. And I guess this is more visible. This silver embroidery is more visible than the copper one. It looks beautiful as well. As the metallic colors reflect our India tradition. This work is like from the original tradition of India culture. And Zari work was very popular and today also it is in the Rajasthani, Gujarati culture. And earlier in villages ladies used to do the mirror work in their Ghagras and Cholis and all with this famous mirror work and golden Zari. Now we use it in brighter colors to give it, you know, a more Western touch. And use different patterns. This is the proper traditional pattern we are using. As it is an Indian suit but you can use bright colors and all the vibrant colors which are in the fashion accordingly for making your designs and Motifs.
