Brazilian embroidery

Brazilian embroidery is a decorative needlework technique characterized by intricate, raised floral and geometric designs created with brightly colored threads on fabric. It involves specialized embroidery stitches, such as satin stitch, couching, and padding, often enhanced with metallic or contrasting threads for a textured, three-dimensional look. Originally developed in Brazil, this craft produces detailed, luxurious motifs typically used on clothing, accessories, and home décor. It requires careful planning and precision, blending artistry with skilled stitchwork to achieve its signature ornate and vibrant appearance.
