Old design, new look!

hey everyone, for those of you who dont know, i just came back from the most brilliant trip to the foot hills of the Himalayas !!! i wish i could post some snaps here but i promised myself this would be a work blog so, lets see… might bend the rules this once

otherwise ive been busy with orders as usual, most of the work im doing look similar to the work i have already posted so to avoid repeats im not going to put up snaps of those. although yesterday i did make two stoles which i really really liked, so even though the snaps were taken in a rush, here they are !

Miriam, my most brilliant model has returned to the UK, so heres our friendly driftwood piece again. Anyone willing to model my stoles for me? anyone?

Trying my hand at Shibori stoles – 1

I finally got around to putting  snaps of my stoles! I Gave up on trying to find a model and finally settled on this beautiful piece of driftwood that has been sitting in my room ever since i can remember,cant believe i didn’t notice it before.

These pieces are not entirely silk, i believe they’re a polyester and silk blend and are about 2 meters in length .

Silk and Lycra Stoles – Potato Line

These are a set of woven stoles i designed for a design studio in bangalore. the inspiration for these stoles was ‘Seedpods’. There was a lot of process involved which i will be including later in to the same post. They are essentially Lycra and Silk. the Lyrca allows a range of textures to be woven, depending on the spacing of the yarns,the combinations etc.
