Kolkata, Nov. 11 : Rita Rakshit, a middle-aged woman in Kolkata, has presented embroidery in an unconventional art form here.

Rita’s work depicts picture stories, amazingly like paintings on canvas through her special embellishment technique.

Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric or other materials with motifs stitched in strands of thread or yarn using a needle. Embroiders also use other materials such as metal strips, pearls, beads, quills, and sequins to decorate their work. Sewing machines are used to create machine embroidery.
