The work of Sindhi embroidery motifs is designed peculiarly in silk and cotton thread on either silk or cotton. The exciting colors used are of several sparkling shades such as orange, red, violet, black, green, indigo, white, turquoise, pink and blue. The Sindhi hand embroidery designs are large and flat done in one or two basic colors to which are added lines of other colors to provide details, such as the veins of leaves, the pistil of flowers and the varied hues of the peacock.
