Zardosi Work - The Dancing Peacock
The Mughal Era in India brought richness to textiles and costumes by doing the Ari work or Zardosi work. Satin is known as Zardosi. Zardosi work is done by laying the color threads mostly gold threads over the material and giving a rich feel to Sarees and dresses.
They are always seen with a chain stitch , which is easily done with a zardosi needle and golden or silver colored threads.
This is all about Zardosi work on Sarees and Dresses, but today we will learn how to make a wall hangining out of Zardosi Materials.
Materials :
1. Felt Cloth
2. Design you wish to make

this looks beautiful reshmi. i am planning to do this but know if i will be able to find the materials here in US. Do you have this design with u?
Hi Reshmi,
Lovely work.. very neat..
I have a problem with zardosi thread. Please help me.
I bought a Zardosi work set in a craft shop(includes the spring like thread, glue, the pattern and colors). But I find it very difficult to stick the thread on the given outline. Is it we need to break the threads into very smaller pieces and stick them or you need to twist and turn the thread according to your design.
Thanks in advance.
Anu
