My Handmade Wall-Hanging!

So the mega weekend plan came out to be a lovely piece of wall-hanging! Here is something special I want to share with you. This is not the first time I have tried my hand here, but certainly the first one I’m presenting in my blog. Wondering what is it, how it’s created, materials, inspiration and so on? Well, let me introduce with the art form.

It’s a form of appliqué work known as “Pipli work”; because of its origin from a small place called “Pipli” in India. A combination of colorful cotton clothes, fine needle work, sequins, laces and tiny mirror pieces give it a stunning look! There is no restriction to patterns, size and shape. But the choice of colors & designs need to be pre-planned, else it’ll mar the charm. You know what I do? Before cutting anything I make a soft copy.... simple!

This wall-hanging took one week to be completed for the central & outline needle work. Of course I can’t spend my whole day with this, because there are lot more thing to be done...well I love to do this!

Please let me know how you like it? I appreciate your suggestion!

  5. This piece is 62cm/62cm. Comparatively smaller in this pattern. The bigger in size, the more decorative it can be.

    Happy visiting my blog!
