Table Runner

A loved one recently bought a new house and she was furnishing it. That inspired me to gift her a runner for her dining table.

The upholstery on the dining chairs was a colour which looked gray in daylight and off-white under lights.

So I made her a two-in-one table runner – off- white on one side and gray on the other. (Though this is photographed on a 60 inch table, it is actually meant for a 72 inch one.)

I painted the off-white with maroon and gray with the help of stencils to give a sober, classy and elegant look.

The other side I painted with the classic combination of red and green to give it a bright, festive modern look.

I also made 4 matching place mats. Hope this table runner sees happy family dinners around it.

Fabric painting projects excite me as they are customized according to the individuals who are going to wear it.

This one was due for a long time, but couldn’t meet this loved person due to the pandemic. Finally finished it.

A classic combination of black and pink needed just a little hint of gold on the borders and Pallu to elevate it to another level.

Milestone blanket for baby

If you’ve ever had a baby, you will know how eagerly you wait for each and every milestone of the growth of the baby. Right from the completion of 1 week, 1 month to 1 year and all other stages in between like turning on the stomach, sitting, crawling and walking.

I had seen such blankets being sold online and liked the way they provided a nice backdrop for a baby photoshoot.

So when an opportunity presented in the extended family, I hand-painted this blanket as a gift. After carefully drawing the layout of the numbers, the cute little baby elephant and the bright butterfly, I made a frame of one stroke painting flowers. And since we don’t know whether it’s going to be a boy or a girl, I used both blue and pink.

For the ring for marking the month , I made a flower from a non-woven bag.

Daisies and Roses – One stroke fabric painting

Daisies are yellow and roses are pink, One stroke painting is the coolest, I think.

Green top with yellow daisies

The green cotton silk top has daisies painted in shades of yellow. And I have outlined the petals with a pearl white fevicryl outliner. The flowers pop out and add that oomph to the painting.

White top with pink rose buds

The white top has a nice rose design going round the neck and the front. It is painted in swirls of pink and the details are outlined in pearl.

Blue Daisy : One stroke painting on Fabric

One stroke is the easiest type of painting once you get the hang of it. After having done a lot on paper, I did a few fabric paintings as well.

So here’s a olive green coloured cotton silk top with blue daisies on the front.

Fabric Painting – Ethnic design

This fabric painting on a ladies top was commissioned for a dear friend’s daughter. I’ve used black color on the red background as per her choice and done it both on the front and the back neckline.
