Saree: Dhakai jamdani. Choli: two-by-two. I hand painted back kolam, rangoli, alpana.. pattern this afternoon since i had couple of hours in hand. #sundayfunday #artinaction
Story: this blouse was loose when purchased.. you know the ones you get in gariahat kolkata bylanes in small shops that are fit into six by eight boxes. Yep. One of those. Of course you ask for your size and you get free size. Nevertheless I hand stitched couple of inches each side to make it sort of fit. :) but there is certain sweetness about two by two blouses. For ages even the most expensive kanjivarams happily married two by two blouses.
Been long time since I held a painting brush in hand.. son's class got canceled last minute allowing me two hours. And then in parallel.. my kolam or muggu art was marinating in mind from long time.. that is it!! Quickly went to purchase fabric paints and picked this blouse to let my he(art) out. It's such relieving. Such an outlet. The paint could have been flowy, that would have been helpful but nevertheless I tried. Plenty of imperfections, crooked lines, blotches. But all done in 90 minutes... Or rather.. i did not want to create anything that could have taken longer. Art can't fit into time.. and I go with the flow. I do not know fully what I would create until I go step at a time. Btw, There is one picture sort of.. in bits and pieces of puzzle..in my mind or rather in my heart.... and there is one piece of wood.. just time is in between. But perhaps will meet me soon.
