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.

How to make variety designs in hand/fabric painting!!

      Fabric Painting is not simply doing anything in a material.  It definitely begins with chosing the desired fabric that can be worked on. 

       Next is the desired colour combination that can for sure match with the 'shades' of the chosen fabric. This includes the borders, any already present lines or designs and so on... 

       So in fabric painting or hand painting we need to take care of both fabric and the matching shades.

       Please check the attached saree design. This is a cotton silk saree in light blue shade and with black thread border. It has been matched with floral drawing in Orange shade bordered with white colour. What gives a good combination here is the black attachments to the border. Orange colour matches well with blue and also  gives a bright look ....
