Editing Bead stringing (section)

=== Motikari ===
Motikari is a craft as well as an art. The craftsperson/artist who work on motikaari is called 'Motikaar'. 

The method of making a pattern involves three stages. The first stage in this art form is to prepare a desired pattern on paper. Then it is pasted on a flat panel hardboard sheet. Preparation of hardboard sheet is the second important stage of the work. In the third stage, the beads of different colors are strung together according to the sketched pattern into the thread with the help of needle in the form of independent but parallel columns of strings. This method discovered by [[Motikaar Malik Nisar Ahmed]] of Pakistan is the simplest and easiest so far. Malik Nisar Ahmed claimed to be the creator of this form of bead stringing as he made countless items of Motikaari compared to anybody else in the world. He is the member of Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/116250-pioneer-of-%E2%80%98motikaari%E2%80%99-eyes-more-wonders|title = The News International: Latest News Breaking, Pakistan News}}</ref> Finally, after the consummation of the artistic pattern, it is removed from the hardboard so that it can be displayed in the shape of hanging strings of beads.

Among the types of wire used for bead stringing, [[tiger tail wire]] is the most common.<ref>{{Cite book|page=[https://archive.org/details/michaelsbookofar00lark/page/498 498]|title=The Michaels Book of Arts & Crafts|author=Dawn Cusick|author2=Megan Kirb|publisher=[[Sterling Publishing]]|year=2003|isbn=1579905307|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/michaelsbookofar00lark/page/498}}</ref>
