you know what.. some people who love beauty couldn't get enough of it!
so they find ways to keep it close..
PHULKARI is not only practiced on clothes but also in different styles and products!
Today this
vibrant folk art of Punjab is now embroidered not only on shawls or dupattas
but also on stolls, saris, bed covers, home furnishings, etc in bright and
vivid colours. Many people have started getting Phulkari personalised, where some are using it as decorative piece, others are using them asaccessories like juttis (punjabi chappal), bags etc.
To obtain faster and cheaper production a coarser and looser style of embroidery is being employed. With fast growing industries, schooling, lack of interest for manual work, profitability, etc. the textile industry today, is imitating this art with the help of machines. Phulkari today is not as detailed or time consuming. Today the woman does the embroidery from the top of the cloth rather from the wrong side of the khaddar. Khaddar is being replaced by cotton, chiffon, georgette, crepe and synthetic.
