I promised my sis that I would work on one of her saris and design something new. It is a double shaded sari in shimmer. I don't have its photo. It is a mixture of purple and gold I think. I completely forgot about it as I had packed all my stash and fabrics, saris, dresses I wanted to work on and those I was working on as I had to take care of my mother after her eye surgery and also for the past six months I had so much going on on my work front.
Well, I am going through my things and trying to organise them into some sort of order. I came across these embroidered butees that bought for my sis's sari.
You can see the silk thread and gold work-using gold threads. These butees which are now in market are different from the previous ones, I have posted. These have stones.That makes these patches more bright. I have chosen patches with less stones. Some of them have more stones, so many that they look like jewels.
The above is the lotus shaped patch.
Here you can see more stones. Only white stones are being used in these patches. I have gone through many patches with different colour combinations, but all have white stones. I picked this colour because it suited my sis's sari.
These patches are quite costly-more stones, more costly. I was the first one to pick these up, when they were received as samples. So I had very few patches to choose from considering the design, colour and budget.
What do you think of them?
Well I need to attach them to my sis's sari. I also have some of my own which need to be completed. But I am still not feeling well and need lot of rest to get back my energy to do all these. So many ideas cross my mind for creating and experimenting new things. But then I don't have much strength to try out them. With Diwali first approaching, I have my hands full.....
I have also created so many Rangolis for Diwali. I need to pen them properly before posting them.
So keep a watch on my blog.....
