The light blue wonder!!

            Often it happens that when I see a saree what comes into my mind first is the colour combinations that could be matched with it. 

            Sometimes there's a colourful border and sometimes not. 

            So here it is a light blue saree with dark pink borders looking very beautiful. I have done a simple flower drawing design in magenta and golden shades.

A utility wall hanger!! Wow

           I definitely love to do Kerala Mural Paintings.

           It's really tough. Drawing the perfect face, the features like eyebrows, eyes and lips; ornaments, fingers, everything ....requires lot more expertise and concentration.

           Moreover when applying colour, shading is another challenge. 

           Here is a mural challenge I took and I converted it into a Utility Wall Hanger!!!

LOVE IT!!

Magic in Silver!!

               It was a real confusion when I bought this Silver bordered Kerala saree. Any dark colour would have matched well in this, but still there was a challenge regarding the design.

               And finally I thought about doing a design in the silver finish itself with a black border shading. The SWAN design fitted very well in that.

The work in the pallu is big!!

Design in the border

     

          I got good appreciation for this work and also a second chance to do the same design one more time in a similar fabric. 

               That was double JOY!!

               This is a two piece Kerala saree or set mund that also has silver borders.

    

           

The different pink flowers!!

             

Here is a two piece Kerala saree or set mund.  It has dark green border and inner to the border is done with slight bigger lotus flower. The flowers are flesh coloured and shaded with pink colour. And each one is also given a green stalk.

The Big Rose !!

               Here I am presenting an artistic work of flower today. This is a green cotton silk saree with pink shade in the upper border and blue & golden in the lower border part. 

                So I chose to do a rose flower design which would be big and would fill up a large area. 

                 The design has been done in pink colour and it's outer and inner shadings has been done in maroon colour.

           Here is how the design is going to be displayed when saree is worn.

My all-time favourite!

                No words to comment on this beautiful Kalamkari Peacock. It's my masterpiece work. Adore it yourself!!!

               Dark maroon colour cotton silk saree with brownish golden border. Simple and beautiful....

Yellow floral kurti fabric!!

              Here is a yellow shade handloom cotton material. I use 2.5 metres of fabric for Kurtis. That will be enough for a kurti with long sleeves of normal large size.

The fabric has been hand painted with flower design in blue shade. Outer dark blue and inner light blue and the green stalk.

              It has been done like flowers  are dispersed on the fabric without any direction.

            It can be  noted that whole design goes to one side of the kurti and not in the perfect centre.

Further the fabric comes with half  metre extra for sleeves. That is also finished with the same flower design.

Here is a closer view of the design:

I am also sharing a small video of shading the flower motif design in the above fabric.

Madhubani fish design

       Fish design is my all-time favourite. I have found a variety of fish design in all types of traditional Indian paintings. Madhubani is one of them. 

        For such designs you require much more concentration . And they look great in different colour combinations as well as in simple black and white combination. Black with contrast light colours also does well like orange or yellow or red etc. 

         Shown in this post is a Madhubani fish design. The kurti is dark maroon colour and 

so the design is done in the neck area. In the dark background design is flesh coloured with black border. 

  Kurti material is handloom cotton  comfortable to do the hand painting and comfortable to wear also....

            You may also check the Kerala saree with fish motifs and also fish design kurti material posted earlier in this blog.

Yet another floral design

       This is a cotton silk saree with very light green colour and with two different colour borders. One side orange and the other pink. There is also this golden border on both sides inner to the colour borders. 

         I wanted to give floral design with leaves like flowers spread on the material. So in the pallu I drew flowers with flesh shade in a random manner, and in the centre of each flower, a shade of either orange or pink was given. You can also see leaves around them.

         The borders are also done in the same floral design, like flowers spread over short lengths. 

         Now for the blouse piece, it's a running blouse with same shade as the saree and the same designs are given on one of the borders that could be made on the sleeves.

P

The parrots !!

           All would have noticed the title image in this blog. Yes .....bright green parrots and the twig with leaves..... 

          The design is hand painted in a Kerala saree to beautify the pallu.

           I have done this drawing and shading with great interest that it came properly as I had wished. The light green colour of the birds is matching well with the background off-white shade of the Kerala saree and so is looking beautiful....

Pallu design :

        Similar design but proportionally smaller has been done in one of the borders. And that is to a small length.

        The golden border (kasavu) in the pallu is finished with the same light green shade to give a beautiful feel....
