Tye Dye Love… Love the colours!

Tye Dye is a truly unique art form! While you can control which way the colours will flow through numerous folds, twists and ties… you can never really predict how the colours will mix! Presenting below some Tye Dye posters from my Tye Dye scarves on Etsy -

DIY Gift bags from brown lunch bags by KavitaKriti

In preparation for my craft show on May 25th, I decided to create my own gift bags out of brown lunch bags. Here's a DIY on how I did it :)

Paisleys and Mandalas

Art Poster from two hand painted silk scarves by KavitaKriti on Etsy

Paisleys are the most common motif used in Indian textile design. A google search on "What is a Paisley" gave me the following definition-

pais·ley/ˈpāzlē/

Noun:

A distinctive intricate pattern of curved, feather-shaped figures based on a pine-cone design from India: "a paisley silk tie".

In this fun paisley silk georgette scarf I incorporated paisleys in different colors. A set of paisleys border either ends of the scarf. I left the center of the scarf white so that there was a good balance of color and white space.

Mandalas are used heavily in henna and mehndi designs. A google search on "What is a Mandala" gave me the following definition-

man·da·la/ˈmandələ/

Noun:

A geometric figure representing the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. Such a symbol in a dream, representing the dreamer's search for completeness.

In this vivid mandala silk georgette scarf, different mandalas in different colors border both ends of the scarf. Once again the center of the scarf is left white to retain balance between color and white space.
