Mille Fleur

Mille Fleur - my latest creation. Hand embroidered buttonhole wheels cover the surface of this two and a half meter long black cotton silk scarf.

Traverse

I've not been very active in this space but I've been stitching feverishly so I can have the scarves and fabric books ready for Madder Moon and I'm happy to report I'm almost there - a tag here,some last minute photography and an email there and I should be all set.  

The last scarf - Traverse.

Traverse is a cotton silk scarf with sequins and embroidery.

Hope your weekend is fantastic, Id Mubarak to all those who are celebrating. 

Globe Trotting

Globe Trotting is the next scarf in the Travel and Maps collection.

The route maps of airlines in inflight magazines inspired the patterning on this scarf.

The Cable Chain Stitch, Running stitch and Sequins provide subtle texture, which is the main characteristic of this scarf.  

Go with the Flow

Go with the Flow is the third  scarf in the Traveland maps collection.

Dark blue cotton silk treated with bleach and embellished with buttonhole stitch and black sequins.

The current is strong and I'm being swept along so there's no other option but to go with the flow that's my life at present.

Urban Sprawl

Urban Sprawl is the second in the collection I'm creating based on the theme of maps and travel.

The scarf is a cotton silk one with running stitch, sequins and applique. 

Urban Sprawl has been interpreted as growth of a town into a city , its organic growth which is not planned.

Its a collection of little towns which have grown and got connected by roads and buildings which are now recognised as a single city but these localities and areas still function as self sufficient eco systems.

In a lot of ways its a reflection of Bangalore where I live. The urban sprawl continues to expand growing upward and outward at a scorching pace, turning a city into a metropolis and very soon to a megalopolis.

Where do you live? village, town, city, metropolis or megalopolis. 

Participate in this event and have a little fun today.Cheers!
