Tote bags or "batua"s - hand embroidered & appliqued.

I started making these ornate bags in
different shapes & sizes as a personal campaign against wastage of
paper & time in gift wrapping. I personally keep such bags handy for
giving gifts.For keeping delicate gifts, some of the bags are
quilted. Even by themselves they make pretty gifts. The idea is to
recycle them.The person who receives gift in any such bag can reuse
the same bag for giving one.Many bags have ornate traditional Indian
"oil lamps" or "diyas"appiqued on them.Diya is a symbol of auspcious,
happy occasions.I have also used "zari" borders(golden & silver
both),handmade laces(quite a few of them are handmade, anitique & of
real gold & silver wires),fabric paint,ribbon bows etc.to "dress"
them up.Some of the bags also have little trinklets stitched
on,though they are not visible in the photographs.

तोह्फोंके लिए मै ऐसे बटुए, या बैग हमेशा सीके रख लेती हूँ....सब बटुए, या बैग बचे हुए टुकडों मेसे बने हुए हैं....
दीवाली के अवसरपे ये दिए बनाके सिले हुए बटुए बेहद काम आते हैं...शादी-ब्याह्के अवसरपेभी इन्हीं का इस्तेमाल करती हूँ....इनका बार, बार इस्तेमाल हो सकता है...जिसको तोहफा दिया जाता है वहभी इसे और किसीके लिए इस्तेमाल कर सकता है....
किताबें, मिठाई, ज़ेवर, जो चाहे देना चाहें, हम इनका इस्तेमाल कर दे सकते हैं...कागज़ की बचत होती है और समयपे दौड़ भागभी नही करनी पड़ती।

Houses & village.

At one time I was obsessed with houses. Clusters really intrigue me. There's another image that my daughter still has to upload.
I have a friend in India who bought several of the clusters I'd appliqued & embroidered. Wish I had photos...

लेस, कढाई, तथा धागे...!

Lace flower vase। ये भित्ती चित्र बचे हुए टुकडों मेसे बना है...

I had a BALL making this one. Rosettes, 105 year old ancestral laces, silk & embroidery. This frame must be at least 15 years old. I've preserved most of the family heirloom laces in this fashion. I made about 4 more vazes using the remaining family lace I had. My daughter says it wasn't easy photographing them because of the reflective glass.

कुछ और नमूने.....

Above: Appliqued rooster curtain in handwoven fabrics.बिटिया ३ सालकी थी तब उसने मेरी सहायतासे थर्मो कॉल के टुकड़े पे इस तरह से एक मुर्गा पेंट किया था....मैंने इस मुर्गेका अलग, अलग तरीकेसे कई जगह इस्तमाल किया....जिसकी एकबार उसने बडाही सुंदर सूरजमुखी पेंट किया था....और आजतलक सूरजमुखीको नए, नए तरीकोसे बनाना मुझे बेहद अच्छा लगता है....

Above: log cabin table cover made during a past Xmas. xmas ट्री....फिर वही log cabin paattern !

Above: bed cover made from silks. मेरी बिटियाके ब्याह्के समय मैंने ऐसी चद्दरें बनाई थीं....और बड़े शौकसे रोज़ एक नयी निकालके बिछाया करती.....वोभी कैसी सुनहरी यादें हैं....

चद्दरें.:...सिल्क तथा सूती कपड़े से बनी हुई.

My handmade linen projects using handwoven/handprinted fabrics.

पुरानी कांजीवरम मेसे ये चद्दर बनी.....मेरी बेहेन के पास है ये !
इसमे दो साडियां इस्तेमाल हो गयीं....दोनों काफ़ी पहनी गयी थीं।

येभी पुरानी कांजीवरम मेसे बनी।
ये चद्दर भी गुर्जरी से लिए टुकडों मेसे बनी है......मै हमेशा कपडेको सीनेसे पहले धो लेती हूँ, जिससे वो बादमे सिकुड़ता नही। इस pattern को "log cabin"कहते हैं....और इसीके पचासों अलग, अलग तरीक़े हैं.....मेरी पसंदीदा patterns मेसे ये एक...इसमेभी छोटेसे छोटी कपड़े की तुकडी इस्तेमाल आ जाती है....

I use a combination of handwoven/handprinted silks & cottons in my linen projects। I'm drawn to earth tones and ethnic prints & motifs.
अमरीकामे बसी बुआके लिए, मेरी बेहेनने कुछ कुरते सिलवाके भेजे थे....उसमेका सारा बचा हुआ कपडा वो मेरे पास ले आयी.....ये चद्दर उसीमेसे बनी....

Colorful quilts for kids & adults both!!

A single bedcover with different blocks,using old silks,laces, weaves & what not!!

Pic has been clicked before framng,thus the wrinkles....but I love creating sunsets as I said earlier!!

इसतरह के भित्ती चित्र, जहाँ छोटीसे छोटी चिंदी इस्तेमाल हो सकती है, मुझे बनानेमे बड़ा मज़ा आता है.....मेरी दादीकी की प्रशंसा, मेरे लिए दुनियाका सबसे बड़ा प्रमाणपत्र है ! एकबार मेरे घरकी साज सज्जा देख वो बोली," ये लडकी तो चिंदीभी कहीँ ज़ाया नही करती!".

A collage made out of extinct old/and some new embroideries,laces

इन सभी तुक्डोंको संजों के रखनेका प्रयास है...क्योंकि अब इस्तरह्की ना कढाई होती है न, लेसेस बनाई जाती हैं....आनेवाली पीढीको पता तो चले की हमारा देश क्या खोता जा रहे...हस्तकलाके संदर्भमे....

Misty hills in rains!!

बारिशों मे पहाडोंका क्या गज़ब गूढ़ आकर्षण होता है...रेशमके कपडेपे water कलर, उसके ऊपर धुंद दिखानेके लिए शिफोनका एक layer ....कुछ अन्य रंगों के तुकडे, ज़मीन, पहाड़, घान्सफूस, दिखलाते है...इन कपडों पे कढाई की गयी है....

A spring morning...yet to be finished। अधूरा चित्र है....सूर्योदयके समयका एहसास है.......मेरी बेटीने अपने हाथोंसे रंगे हुए, slivers, तथा yarns हैं....background मे मैंने, अलग अलग रंगोंके tissue का इस्तेमाल किया है...ये नारंगी रंगका कपड़ा पर्देमेसे बचा हुआ था...कई layers हैं....कुछ रूई जैसे दिखनेवाले slivers tissueke ४ layers के पीछे हैं तो कुछ ऊपर....नीचे उगते घान्सके फूल, अन्य बूते, पट्टियां....

Miniature landscape with nets etc.

Its a tiny frame made out of total scrap. The background is of silk. layered with colored nets, frayed silk peices etc. The nets & other pieces are held with embroidery stitches like stem stitch & french knots/seeding stitches. The readymade frame was not horizontal. I changed it to suite my requierement by drilling an extra hole.

Embroidered & appliqued Sunset made with silk & wool rovings

Inspiration for this वाल piece came from an actual sunset seen from my balcony. By the time I made the background,the ideas for the composition kept changing & reshaping. Some wool & silk रोविंग्स went under a layer of tissue. Some were overlapping. An orange hillock appeared. Woolen & silk tassels cut from left over fabrics came in handy as grasses. The lowermost layer is of khadi silk. The trees are in the process of being made, using yarn & embroidery. It's all handstitched, without using any glue. I shall be completing the picture in a few days with little more embroidery added to it. I find such work extremely soothing for my nerves...almost like meditation!!
