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. 

A bright red silk saree with a wide golden border. In this saree the golden border has been hand painted with big Elephant motifs in again Red and Golden shades.

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.
