 Kutch work usually done with bright coloures gives rich look .

    

         I always thought of doing  kutch work with no filler stitch around, only pure kutch work . So here is my first experiment with design,

              This i got inspired by traditional embroidery "karnatak kashida", in which "gopur" design is famous.   So here is outcome of gopur design in kutch work.
