Saree designing with screen printing- For sale

0 comments

I have designed many sarees , most of the time according to customer's suggestions. I have used the color combinations they have suggested. This is the one I have used the color combination of my choice .
The saree is fine cotton saree with two shades, Maroon and Green. As the shades have covered half of the length, so I have used big motifs along the border.
The motif I have used is :

The motif has two Apsaras (Angels)dancing and a pair of peacock on top of them.

The motifs along the border looks like this :

The pallu:

And this has attached blouse, on which I printed paisley design on both the side :

The closer view of the motif on the blouse

I loved the green and maroon combination. Hope the Gold color motifs good on that, which goes well with Maroon as well as Green, making the saree very traditional.

This is for sale on my FB page : https://www.facebook.com/RanjanasCreations

Hope you liked the saree. Wearing this a lady will definitely look like an Apsara . What do you say?

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

Sarees of India 2- Kantha Sarees- Pride of West Bengal

0 comments

This is my second post in series Sarees of India. The first post is about a Banaras saree.

In this post sharing about Kantha Sarees of West Bengal.

West Bengal is famous for many kinds of handloom sarees. I can say Kantha saree is pride of West Bengal.

Kantha is kind of embroidery, which was used by Bengali women to make old clothes look attractive.(I will write about Kantha embroidery in the series "Embroideries of India".)

Kantha Sarees are normally available in silk , silk cotton or cotton materials. On plain saree very intricate embroidery is made with bright color threads. When I visited a craft fest I could capture photos some beautiful Kantha sarees.

Here are some Kantha sarees :

The colorful sarees , with very elegant Kantha embroidery , aren't these tempting ?

This I liked the most , Black and Orange combination, with leaves patterns embroidered on it.

Yello, Blue , Creme and Pink, which one you liked the most?

Last time when I visited Kolkata , I could add some Kantha sarees to my wardrobe. One is green:

I was mesmerized by the motif and the patch work combination .

The closer view of the motif:

Another is creme color , with very beautiful vine embroidery.

If you are saree lover , then I feel at least one Kantha saree is must in your wardrobe. What do you opine?

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

Make over of an ordinary saree- Screen printing again

0 comments

One of my clients had given a very ordinary saree for make over. Here it is :

I tried to convince her a lot , not to go for make over of this saree, because that would be expensive and it might not look good also. But as it was last gift from her parents, she wanted to wear this saree. So she insisted for make over.

It was really difficult for me. This is very normal saree, heavy lace won't look good for this. I went for normal zari lace. Attached it along the borders.Always I use screen printing for make over. Printed with big rose prints, as it is matching with lace.

And printed small motifs along on Pallu. Still I was not happy with the look, tried 3d glitter paint on the motifs and attached some kundans.

Closer view of the motif:

She is happy to with the work, at least she can wear this occasionally .

Soon working on writing on a series of sarees of India. In next post share about Kantha saree of West Bengal .

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

Antique saree with pure Silver zaree

I often design dresses. I like all the kind of dresses, western as well as Indian. But my all time favorite is Saree. I always love to wear saree and design saree. Saree , the six yard magic, truly creates magic on the woman wearing it.

I always wanted to write about different kinds of saree. So starting with this post, writing about this fifty years old Banaras silk saree. This is my mother's wedding saree. She has kept it very carefully. Still it looks very beautiful,and antique also.

This is light Blue Banaras silk, with very beautiful vine design, in Silver , Pink and Maroon. And the whole body has Silver buttas on it.

Pallu is also very elegant, with silver zari weaving and Pink and Maroon flower on it. And the Zari is made of pure Silver.

And I have taken promise from her, she will give this saree to me. :)

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,
