Story behind the art.

"Kantha", a very popular type of embroidery from West Bengal, India. The use of kantha is popular in traditionally worn garment by women in Bengal. But any garment or cloth, predominantly having a border of decorative running stitch motifs, may be called a kantha garment. The entire cloth is covered with running stitches and usually has beautiful folk motifs, floral motifs, animal and birds figures and geometrical shapes. Such stitches on the cloth give it a slight wrinkled wavy effect.
The art is believed to be originated from the way in which the housewives of from West Bengal, mended old clothes by taking out a strand of thread from the colorful border of their garment and making simple designs with them.
