 today I will make you come across few more legendary points on phulwork.

THE COMEBACK OF PHULKARI

The embroidery took a backseat with the division of India and Pakistan. However, it soon sprang back up like an evergreen style statement. Even though there is an inimitable demand for Phulkari work till date, there are limited credible sources left from where one can purchase a hand-woven Phulkari fabric. With commercialization of the needlework, quicker methods of production were devised.

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION

Thread by thread, each motif was created in a geometric grid, which was a peculiar technique for coming up with a curvilinear final output. Long and short darn stitch was put to clever use for creating horizontal, vertical and diagonal thread work, inspired by routine of the artists, flowers, 
 animals. isn't it quite interesting...how an embroidery art can hold so many things!

stay tuned and take care my readers!
