Computer Art

Friends I have tried my hand at this art. I don't know whether you can call this as an art. But I just wanted to create some things like these for sending them to my friends by SMS..But then I thought why not on my computer so that I can share them with you. I think I will call this Computer Art. Can you suggest any other name?

You know  I love these fishes. Here I tried with different fonts and font sizes and the result you can see for yourselves.

I will use these motifs for painting on my handkerchief, Cushion covers, Bed linen, kurthas or scarves or chunaris. This will look great with black on white background or vice versa. 

So you can use these as free patterns. They are also good for embroidery. What do you say?

Blouses-Kalamkari N Jaipur Print

Friends here is one more blouse. This is a combination of patch work of Jaipur print and Kalamkari, with some sequins work . These blouses are still in fashion and are a huge hit. Being multi coloured they can be worn with many contrasting or similar coloured saris. These can be worn with plain or printed saris too. Though the blouses are stitched, they have to be fitted to individual requirements.

Here it is

This is the front side. Front open. See the combination of patches and the sequin work is not too much just highlighting the design.
This the back side.
See the patch at the back
This is the sleeve.
A closure look at the sleeve and look at the Kalamkari print.

I have some more but don't have the time to photograph them. I will post more next time.

Rangoli-35-Reusable Rangolis -2

Here are some more of the Reusable Rangolis.

This one, I placed the cellophane sheet on a red colour paper. I am sorry I could not photograph it properly, no matter what I did. This is a circular design in the centre with small designs on the four corners. I have used only one colour Kundans.
This is the small motif in the corner.
A clear view of the design in the centre.
Now here I placed the design on a white board.
Here I have glued together a blue and a red craft paper on another sheet. Then I placed the Cellophane sheet with Kundan design on it.

You can use different craft papers, of different colours, or cover the surface with, silk or cotton cloth and then place the sheet of Rangoli. The design is a small and simple one. You can try more complex and bigger ones. depending upon the space and material available.

Hope you like this...Will post some more...Keep a watch on my blog....
