Kamal Kadai:
Embroidery
is the art of embellishing fabric or other material by applying thread
using a needle. Based on the texture and the designs of the fabric and stitch
embroidery designs are various types. Among the various types of trendy
embroidery in India and Pakistan, kamal Kadai is one of them. Kamal Kadai which
looks like a lotus flower is also called lotus embroidery in India and Pakistan.
It is considered local in Andhra Pradesh.
Kamal Kadai
resembles an embroidery of western named Teneriffe lace work. The origins of
kamal Kadai and Teneriffe's lacework are different. The pattern of the Teneriffe
lace work is elaborative and for Kamal Kadai is easy and simple.
The
floral leaves of the design are the widest in the center and lower on both sides of
the design slightly looking like staircases. There are four or five floral
patterns with wavy stems.
Types/Variety
Kamal Kadai's design may be the twisted
center or open center. Some use an even number of spokes and some use an odds one. When
one uses the odds number of spokes at the end of each spoke/flower leaf, one can
add beads. This bead not only presents a heart-touching decoration but also
wrapped the spokes of the kamal Kadai.
Uses
Kamal
Kadai can be used in various types of dresses such as Shari, Veil, Kami, wall mate, etc.
Stitches:
The woven trellis stitch is mainly
used for the leaves and flowers of kamal Kandi along with other stitches to
complete the designs. Sometimes beads and gemstone are used to decorate the
designs.
