Fabric Painting on a Saree

Pinks.. Greens.. Yellows
 
 
Having finished 2 Salwar Embroidery for my friends I got to do Painting on a Saree for another friend of mine. It was a Kota Saree with Applique border in Pastel Pink ,  Pastel Green and a bright Yellow.. I was asked to add a punch of colour and design and make it flamboyant. As the applique was a floral design I went for a floral motif of a Bunch of Flowers.
 
 
The Applique Border of the Saree

I used  2 shades of Pearl Pink, Pearl green with a mix of Sap Green of Fevicryl Fabric on the Floral Design. I didn't use a medium to thin out the paint as Kota Fabric byitself is a very thin fabric and the colour bleeds if it is thin and watery.  I had placed the flower motif a regular intervals and accentuated the Saree.

The Bunch and Single Flowers Alternate eachother.

 A part of the bunch was added as Single flower motif to further make it more beautiful and also in the Pallu.
