Works In Progress- One more embroidery and Painting On Canvas

This week started one more embroidery work and painting on canvas. I was supposed to transfer the design of the both, yesterday itself. But I went for picnic to a nearby place with my art school friends. I know, during this pandemic, it is risky to go out. But the place was a private farm house. Outside visitors are not allowed. The picnic was really refreshing. A much needed outing, after lockdown.

So , I am starting the works today. One is , embroidery on a saree. The design is transferred on the saree. I was just checking the colors of the threads and kundans.

After finilasing the the threads and kundans, tried one motif.

The sample design

I don’t know about the stitch. I am just filling with two threads, somewhat like running stitch.

Another work I started is Kerala Mural Painting on rolled canvas. I have painted Kerala mural on canvas board, saree and on bamboo. This is the first time trying Kerala Mural on rolled canvas.

I have little practise in Kerala Mural now. But still I need to draw and practise some elements and designs used in Kerala Mural. This canvas is 24X36 inch canvas. The biggest among, whatever Kerala Mural I made. It will take at least 3 months to complete this work. But I am always excited to start any art work, and share with you. Keep coming back to this blog, to know and learn more about different arts and crafts of the world.

Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
