The mural in colourful !!

           Colourful sarees and fabrics are good enough on their own. But artists can find canvas everywhere.

           So I am sharing two colourful sarees I have done long back. These are beautiful sarees with one colour in the body and contrasting colour in the pallu. They look very nice as they are but looking through my artistic eyes I felt to do some painting in them. 

I feel still they are beautiful.

Warli design in Kerala saree!!

            Warli designs or tribal paintings are very easily done in any material. The warli motifs can be done in full black or can be made completely colourful. 

            Usually hand painting in Kerala sarees are done with traditional designs but here I have chosen warli painting designs. This is something that a beginner can try for a start in fabric painting.

The cute elephants !!

            Today I am going to show small and simple design.

            Sometimes it happens that we like a saree which is of very good fabric but is plain bordered. Over a period of time we get bored of the simple border and we wish to have some colourful thing on it.  

            For such plain wears we can do simple small and cute designs and make it look new.

            Now here are two such sarees with designs somewhat similar.

           The second saree is an old white silk saree with golden borders. Simple designs can be chosen to make our old sarees beautiful and colourful. It brings variety in our wardrobe.

Mural wonders I

           Indians are blessed people. We have diverse types of traditional art forms in every field. No one can number them. 

           Anybody who tries to understand these can find that many of these are related in some way. Also we should not forget that they are challenging in their own way.

          Today let's have a look at the Kerala mural painting I have tried in saree. 

           This is a Kerala saree with mural painting of a lady with a musical instrument. The design has been done in the pallu and in the rest of the saree borders simple round design motifs are given.

              The saree is golden bordered and it has been finished with red shade.

Customers Choices II !!!

             Hi friends!! Today I have come up with two designs that are often seen. Most of us would love to have such a design in our wardrobe for sure. 

             Here what makes happy for an artist is that these designs looks beautiful in many other colour combination. So accordingly we can customise our choice.

               The first design shown is a peacock design. The design motifs are small and finished in green and yellow colour combination. The material is a Kerala set mund or two piece saree which has a green border. 

              The second material is also Kerala set mund or two piece saree with olive green border. And the design done in this one is wooden horse motif design. The sap green shade is combined here with maroon colour.

             Both the designs are simple and easily done and suitable for special occasions.

A tough design!!!

            A very beautiful but little bit tough design. Today I am going to share with you a dark blue kurti material with a variety Kathakali design. 

            This is really a challenging design for an artist. The dimensions of the figure, the colour combinations and what not the design itself has been one of the toughest for me. 

             I hope it has come good and I am well satisfied with the outcome.

 

             The material and the design is such that it can be matched with any type of bottom wear. These designs are at the same time traditional and modern.  

              Here is how the kurti came out and it's definitely looking beautiful. 

              

 

Search in my wardrobe II

             What to draw for my own dress is also quite confusing. There are so many designs and patterns I wish to make. Only thing that is to be taken care of is the colour combination.

             These are the second set of kurtis I have done for myself with the simplest designs. 

       This is a small and very simple Kathakali design done on the lower part of the kurti. There's no other drawing anywhere but kurti is finished with buttons in the neck and on the sleeves.

Now this one is a black handloom material. Because of the dark colour I chose a contrast yellow colour for the design and it's the lotus flower design with green stalk and leaves. The design is done on the neck and on the sleeves. The kurti is well matched with yellow bottom.

        

Customers Choice I

           All of us love designer wear. But not everyone get what they seek. Most of us are needed to be satisfied with what comes in front of us. 

           Sometimes we are just jealous of a piece worn by another person.... like.... Wow!! I would love to have that dress in my wardrobe too.

           Surprisingly today I present some of my designs that has given me few satisfied customers.
