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....

SOLD OUT    

     KATHAKALI is one of the traditional dance forms of Kerala. What makes it more attractive is the colourful make up and the brighter costume. This adds to the beauty of the performance.
     Hence, Kathakali has always remained an artistic curiosity; whether it's the full figure or just the facial expressions....
     Here I am with Kerala set mund (two piece saree) Kathakali face painted on it.

Dancers in your saree!!!

All the art forms bring happiness to our minds. Dance is a very special art form that involves music and rhythm. There are a variety  of dance forms and all are unique in their own way.  

The different dance poses can be depicted very beautifully in canvases as well as in dress materials.  The different colour combinations adds to the style. A saree with the dancer design really looks fabulous and unique in a crowd..

Check this Kerala saree with maroon border and beautiful dancer sketch in maroon and golden shades. Given also is the blouse piece that carries the contrast colour design in the sleeves....

This second saree has a different dancer pose and is done with royal blue and golden shades. Again there is the matching blouse piece with contrast design.

Now check this Kerala saree with a third dancer posture in dark green and golden shades and also with green border...... 

A simple peacock!!

    Other than floral designs which are very nice but frequent, peacock as well as peacock feather are used widely on dress materials as painting designs. These images can be improvised and brought into the desired fabric.
   These are designs that can be drawn in simple and also in very complicated way. But they go well with any colour combination and in any type of fabric...
   These are two types of peacock designs done in two different ways ......but still FABULOUS.....

  Beautiful peacock design with green, blue and yellow colours combined. 
  The upper border is given running peacock feathers in light green background, that looks awesome, I feel...
   The lower border has simple and single peacock feathers with a definite distance...

 

  Again a very different drawing of peacock that's nicely done and is also simple. The peacock feathers drawing on either of the borders just gives a feel that they're colour pencil sketches.... 

Bird and leaf design.. VARIETY

Kerala sarees can filled in with any colour design.
Most of them comes with running blouse material that can also be enriched with the same design. 
Other than that you can also choose a different, colourful blouse material which has been worked on the design.

Kerala sarees are plain, off-white and made of good cotton fabric. Colours are well absorbed into these sarees and look fabulous with any good art work . 

     You give at least a single color border, the saree looks simple and elegant with the matching blouse style... 
Depicted here is a fish design in orange and blue colours. They run evenly on both the borders and in a pattern over the pallu...
