HEIMTEXTIL 2015 PANEL IMAGES

These images are parts of the jacquard I designed. It is a 4 meter woven jacquard on a strie warp that showcased the various textiles of India. Different techniques like kantha, ajrakh, madhubani, ikat were the inspiration to these sections. As the techniques were a variety of embroideries, printing and surface art showcasing them with weaves was most challenging.
This was a humble attempt to bring out the beauty of Indian textiles in a different way.

ASIAN PAINTS EXHIBIT 2016

A very interesting freelance project. ... done in collaboration with other crochet artists. I 
completely loved this project because it took my hobby into the professional sphere.
I loved how Asian Paints introduced the color Madder Red in such a beautiful, organic and creative way. Absolutely thrilled with the outcome and glad I could be a part of it.









Below you will see the large crochet doillies in the making. The yarn used was beautiful "mul" fabric cut into long strips. Mul is cotton muslin and as we can see above it absorbed the dye gorgeously.

With ROMO..... 6 colorways

zigzag embroidered tonal homefurnishing fabrics. The fabric is made into a cushion- the top most on the pile. Interesting method of using a very simple stitch for maximum beauty.
