Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating
fabric or other materials with designs stitched
in strands of thread or yarn using a needle.
Embroidery may also incorporate other materials
such as metal strips, pearls, beads, quills,
and sequins.
Embroidery is classified according to its
use of the underlying foundation fabric. The
most ornate and tedious form of embroidery
is the Zardosi workmanship mainly originating
from India. This form uses metal thread instead
of the ususal silk or rayon. The fabric, usually
silk or velvet, is marked with the pattern
and then the craftsman covers the pattern
with metal thread embellishing it with stones
or beads.
Another form of embroidery from India is the
Ari work. This work is done by stretching
the fabric on a frame and creating the stiches
from a long a needle. The needle also carries
sequence, beads, and other embelishments to
decorate the pattern.
