Utsav 2009 !! ( exhibition in Kottayam and Cochin)

i know its been ages since i posted last. Thing have been Super busy and there has been a lot of neaw work but no time to photograph any of it !!!!

Firstly, i had another exhibition in November !! I was one of the many stall owners at Utsav 2009 and it was a great privilage to be among such veterain designers. This was not an art exhibiton like the last show i had in 2008. I showcased my work in both Kottyam and Cochin, mostly stoles,cushion covers,napkin box covers, shawls etc. It was brilliant !!

Shibori Bedspread – working big!!

I recently got an order to make a 200 cm by 200 cm shibori piece for a dubay cover. it was the first time i was working with so much cloth and it nearly drove me insane ! The colour, size, design ..everything was a challenge at that size. But the outcome at the end of it all was not too bad so there might be hope for shibori sarees and bed spreads in the future yet !

Silk Shibori 12 by 12 inch Cushions – For sale ( in case your wondering :) )

I’ve come to the conclusion that i love small cushions. they’re just so nice to hold and throw about. the big fellows tend to take up space, almost act like pillows but the smaller fellows are just right, fitting into all the right  nooks and cranny’s . Actually i like really small cushions or really really big ones !! like floor pillows !!! now theres a plan !

anyway back to the here and now….. i present to you…. 12 by 12 inch cushions !!!!!

Spirit Stoles

Finally here are few of the stoles we made during naf ’s visit home!! As you can see we pretty much tried a range of techniques, tried a few new, explored a few old, it was a fun experiance, im certainly doing things a bit differently. i love it when people come and ideas are churned about all the stoles are made form pure silk, about 2 meters in length.

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 .
