Fabric painting and mirror work....NICE

           All love designer dresses. Simple designs can be done on plain kurtis to make it unique and special. 

           Have a look at this green cotton silk kurti. Madhubani design has been done in contrast to the kurti colour. Mirror work enhances the beauty and gives the dress a party wear look.

Little satisfaction after so many days!!

            Hi friends here I am back again with my painting. I Can't think of a day without painting. Whenever I do some drawings or painting in a fabric or canvas , I feel so relieved. 

            I also tried capturing a small video on painting. This time it's a parrot design in a Kerala set mund. 

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.

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.

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. 

              

 

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.

Fabric painting to try for beginners...

          We all are simple artists. All of us would have tried drawing and painting once in our life. So when we intend to do fabric painting for the first time, it's always like choose the simplest design. 

          Today I have brought a simple design in a kurti material. As to begin with the design is drawn on to the fabric where it is required. You can use pencil to draw in a light coloured fabric or tailoring chalk for dark coloured fabric. The design may be hand drawn or a stencil can be used.

         Now along the outline painting can be done carefully. A thin brush(00) can be used for easy control of painting. Also it doesn't waste colour. It's important to have patience till the end for good results.

         Here I have taken a maroon coloured fabric and done simple oval design along the neck, on the lower border and sleeves. The design has been drawn using chalk and finished with yellow and green colours.

    

The sunflowers 🌻!!

             I always love white and off-white shades of dresses. When you design on these shades it's interesting and also a bit challenging. 

             In light coloured fabrics, you can choose any contrast colour to work on. But at the same time it's very important that the design is done in a different pattern to make it attractive.

             Here I am with an off-white green bordered saree with sunflower design motifs , that matches with the shades of the saree. 

              The pallu is finished with big sunflower design and the whole saree filled with small sunflower motifs. 

               SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL 💖!!

Simplest scenery in off-white

         There's nothing to explain about this off-white silk saree. It's one type of simple silk saree with golden borders and pallu.

         I have hand painted a scenery in orange and black shades and hope it has come well. 

         The blouse is same running material as the saree, but it would be awesome with the orange and black mixed shade designer material.

Colourful face motif!!!

              Today I have brought before you is this colourful Kalamkari Devi face motif in the Kerala two piece saree or the set mund.

              The set mund was having a simple plain black border. So I thought along with black it would be nice to give other matching shades. This would make the design different and beautiful. 

                For this I chose orange and green. Both the colours were applied separately in different motifs and not at all in combination. Black shade was given for the border in each motif. 

Now for this dress all the three colours can be matched in the blouse, either plain or in combination or even printed.

             Any dress looks beautiful on you when you wear it in your own unique way. 

Kalamkari Devi face motif !!

                 Most of the textile prints are inspiration to artists. They can be used either single or mixed with in combination with other designs. 

                 Today I am with this Kalamkari Devi face design done in Kerala two piece saree or the set mund.

                 The first one is with simple plain blue border. The design is drawn in black thin border and has been filled with yellow colour. This is in contrast to the blue border and brings really good combination of colours. 

                 The dress can be paired with either blue, or yellow, or a combination of both colours in the blouse. Or even printed.

Anyone might have a confusion that this looks like printed, but believe me this is completely hand painted thing.

                       

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.

    

           

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....

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....

     Hence, Kathakali has always remained an artistic curiosity; whether it's the full figure or just the facial expressions....
