Thread work is an art that we aim to highlight through our products and services. Before we launch our products we want you to really know why we came up with such an idea. Making craft out of thread is not easy. Its considered a skilled work where all these artist spend weeks training to make the best designs with constant improvement and creativity. The founder of this work of art is JOSUE HILMEEN. He invented the hand embroidery machine nearly 20 years before the sewing machine came into existence.
The very first hand embroidery machine!
This invention has impacted the lives of many till date. These little designs increase the grace and elegance of whatever they are attached to, whether it be a chair, a dress or a table cloth, if the work is carried out by an artist, it leaves a lasting impression!
Embroidery is a skillful art of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle and thread. This art has a very rich history. The Chinese embraced the art of embroidery nearly in 3500 B.C.
Images depict embroidery of silk thread and since long this art has been passed down from generation to generation. Even during the time of the Mughal empire this art was highly appreciated. They used gold and silver threads to further decorate their items.
We now have certain knowledge of the rich history of embroidery and Handcrafts. Now lets look at how our ancestors used to design these amazing pieces of art. They used to hand craft these designs which took them weeks maybe even months to finish off. The texture of a hand made article was quite different from the embroidery that you see today. It took a lot of precision to make a work of art.
Now a days companies are using modern equipment as a means of cheaper production which can be termed as 3D production. Designs are made digitally and sent to machine for production they do have their own grace but in my opinion they do not posses the same class and its not just my perspective but people still prefer traditional handwork for special occasions.
