Wall hanging cloth

Here patches of colored fabric are superposed on a basic fabric. The edges of the patches are sewn in a form of stitchery to give the art a decorative look. The basic material is cloth. In this art specially prepared motifs are used which have exclusively embroidery and mirror work done on it. The motifs are cut and superposed on a base cloth with a specific layout and sequence. The edges of the motifs are then skillfully stitched onto the base cloth. The motifs may be either colored or white but the base cloth is usually a colored one. Of the more common of these motifs are the elephant, parrot, peacock, ducks, creepers, trees, flowers like lotus, jasmine, half-moon, god and goddess.
