TOP EMBROIDERY TREND FOR SPRING SUMMER, SEEN IN ALBERTA FERRETTI SS14

Beautiful multi-colored floral embroidery on a white lacy cottony background evokes a nostalgia for the fresh-faced folkloric peasant belle combined with  Spanish flamenco gipsy fieriness. For Spring Summer 2014, Alberta Ferretti creates this gorgeously fresh and fiercely floral collection of ivories and stripes with strategically placed luscious thread embroidery!!!!!! We are in LOVE with the topmost embroidery trend for Spring Summer 2014......MULTI-COLOR THREAD EMBROIDERY!!!

PEARLS FOR A LADY.....AN ILLUSTRATION

I started drawing women when i was 7 years old...... princesses and fairies in beautiful ball gowns and exotic flowers, strings of pearls and glittering diamonds.
What was the influence? Hard to pinpoint. It might have been the beautiful illustrations of Cinderella and Snow White and Beauty in Ladybird fairytale books, the  inherent love for all things delicate and beautiful that is fired up in an imaginative child after consuming a steady diet of legends and fairy tales from all over the world!
Whatever the reasons were, the passion has continued over the next couple of decades. My best time starts when I'm alone with my beloved pencils, Rotring pens, Staedtler colors and loads of spotless ivory sheets!!!!
Today i combine black with pearls..... both the epitome of lady-like elegance and ageless chic. Its amazing how a sketch can convey in a glance, an attitude that would take ages to write about!!!!
So I'll leave it you, readers, to determine the feelings created by this particular illustration, and I'll be glad if it evokes the same thoughts in you,as i had when i sketched it!!!

19th CENTURY INDIAN JEWELLERY PROVIDES INSPIRATION FOR EMBROIDERY!!!!

THE MOST STUNNING INDIAN INSPIRATION FOR EMBROIDERY

 Today we take inspiration from some masterpieces of 19th century Indian jewellery and then collect relevant embroidery material from our online shop http://embroiderymaterial.com/  necessary to recreate this gorgeousness on fabric!!!!!

 19TH CENTURY NORTH INDIAN PENDANT
SIMPLY STELLAR!!!!
If this doesn't inspire the most gorgeous hand embroidery in us, then what will? 
Visualizing this in shades of silk threads..... ruby red, emerald green,golden yellow, accents of amethyst..... beaten metallic wire or dapka in gold and delicate bugle beads!!!
What's your take?

 FLYWHISK FROM NORTH INDIA, EARLY 19TH CENTURY!!
Now this just spells LUXURY!!!
Again I would use this inspiration to create a decadent embroidery consisting of different shades of silk thread, tiny gold  bugle beads and metallic gold wire or dapka!!!

 19TH CENTURY NORTH INDIAN PENDANT

 SO GORGEOUSLY DELICATE ..........
Now for this, I would choose pearl finish clear crystals in nontarnishable brass holders, rich antique gold metallic wire or dapka for the delicate filigree work and luxurious silk threads in sapphire,emerald and ruby for the colored bases!!!!!!

Absolutely delicious!!!!!

SOUTH INDIAN TEMPLE NECKLACE, EARLY 19TH CENTURY

(FRONT ON LEFT & REVERSE ON RIGHT)

STUNNING, STUNNING,STUNNING!!

All I can say, is if anyone tops the list of creating uber-luxurious jewellery, it's us, Indians!!!!This highly-detailed necklace is absolute proof of that!!

For this, I'd go for a beautiful rich ruby crystal in a matte finish and use beaten gold metallic wire or dapka to encircle and create the beautiful shapes around the rubies. A few clear boat-shaped pearl finish crystals and a couple of emerald crystals in non-tarnishable brass holders should help you in recreating this masterpiece on the fabric of your choice!!!!!!

Continuing our love for metal

Continuing our love for metal!!!
Growing up in a sleepy sheltered corner of Calcutta on a diet of Rabindra sangeet and Beatles, all of a sudden the discovery of Metal and Rock during teenage years, proved to be a cathartic jolt to rebellious youth!!!
We are continuing on that road to new discovery every day,exciting.....unique..... and of course,coated with Metallic angst!!!!
Today we take a look at delicately wrought metal wire craftsmanship...... twisted,agonized and forged into intricate shapes , for who said there can exist beauty without pain?
  The result is each unique element which can be translated into jewellery, accessories and surface ornamentation for apparel...... a mark of statement individuality!!!!!

INSPIRED BY ERTE

FASHION NEEDS INSPIRATION AND WHO BETTER THAN THE GREAT ARTIST/DESIGNER ERTE!!!!
http://embroiderymaterial.com/ presents a range of surface ornamentation elements inspired by the art-deco fantasy  work of Russian born French master Romain de Tirtoff, known by his pseudonym 'ERTE'. The multifaceted Erte flourished in the fields of opulent bourgeois fashion, jewellery, graphic art,elaborate set & costume design for films,opera and theater.  
The renowned number collection(you can see '2' in the attached picture) ,mixed media gouaches and his serigraphs deserve special mention!!!!

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A STATEMENT!!!!!!!

A Statement. Isn't that what we are looking for when we are buying top-of-the-line designer apparel, jewellery or accessories?
An accent that sets you apart from the crowd, a footnote that declares you possess a unique temperament, a chord that remains with onlookers long after you are gone.
That sets me thinking....what IS it that makes the difference between Fantastic and Tack-tastic? And BANG comes my answer!!It is Quality.
The quality of thought process that has gone in creating a statement piece, the quality of skill used in creating it, the quality of material that has been visualized in that creative mind and then molded by those skilful hands.
And that is why it is so important to make sure that particular oh-so-important property of a statement piece is never challenged.
 And that,precisely, is the reason why we, at http://embroiderymaterial.com/ , spend the best part of our sourcing team's time and energy , ensuring that all our products procured from every corner of the globe, strictly adheres to our highest Quality platform. So that you, as a design professional don't have to worry..... so that you can spend YOUR best time visualizing how to turn a statement embroidery element into a statement objet' d art !!!!

Inspired by Krishna to create a palette of blues!

Mythology......legends which have been handed down for generations since the dawn of mankind.... those tales of Gods, Goddesses and supreme beings that have become so ingrained in our psychology that we continue to consciously or unconsciously turn to them for inspiration.....for courage ..... for guidance.
Krishna the blue-skinned, flute-playing God of Hindu mythology needs no introduction…. the savior of mankind, the playful lover, the great warrior, the astute diplomat, the creator of the holy Bhagavad Gita…Krishna wears many mantles.
Today He inspires us to choose blue, the shades made iconic because of His skin color, which blends with the clear azures of the skies, the ultramarine depths of the sea all blending in oneness with the midnight navy of the Universe.

LEATHER SEQUINS : ROCKSTAR OR COUTURE DIVA?

We have always loved leather..... the sheer rock star glamor and rebellious attitude that can be exuded only by leather, is hard to match!!
As a simultaneous couture worshiper, we have tried to find the perfect balance between the gorgeous delicacy of hand embroidery and the sheer attitude of leather..... and voila!!
http://embroiderymaterial.com/ presents leather sequins in  shades of dove silver and beaten gold!!!
Have ideas on where you can use these lovelies? Share your creativity with us !!!

SPECIALITY TOOLS FOR EVERY DESIGNER

THE ULTIMATE PINNING MACHINE.

ITS EASY-AS-WINKING TO USE!!!

First draw on a tracing paper or gateway sheet, the design that you wish to translate into embroidery. Then put your tracing paper design(khaka) on a firm thick fabric covered surface.

 Plug in the machine and simply trace it on the design like you would use a pen. The machine will make tiny microscopic pinholes on your design.

Then you can trace the pinned design on any surface you wish to embroider with tracing powder. Good quality tracing powder, as available with the embroiderymaterial.com online shop, will disappear with the minimum fuss after embroidery.

This machine eliminates the need for you to draw right on the surface, makes it easier to make as many exact replications as you require, and makes the entire laborious task a few minutes' hassle-free job!!!
