After thirty years...(part 2)

  Hi ,

               As promised to you all , I'm continuing my '' After thirty years... ( part 2 ) . I have a feeling that this series is going to be a real long one . Well , today also there are some more embroidery motifs from the SOVIET NAARI ( magazine ) . I hope you remember me describing about it in my last post .

              So , friends , here are a few to be embroidered on hankies too . Painting them on any surfaces , is always an option for you . As usual , the choice of colours will obviously be your own .

              These designs were in black and white , and with the time , it got paler and delicate . So I scanned and photoshoped it , but still there are places where the motifs have broken lines , or say ,  they are not very clear ---  but you see these are the treasures I have , and that I'm sharing with you all .




              a beautiful ( imaginary ) bird ,

            the same bird with small bunches of flowers .

           a beautiful bouquet of assorted flowers ,

           a bunch , once again ...

           this was something to be embroidered on the sleeves of a garment ...

       the same motif in corners ...

               



            Next week , I will continue with the '' mom's collection '' . I hope you all are enjoying your visits here , and are getting inspired and creative ...( like our moms ) ...

                                         bye , have a nice time ...

After thirty years...( part 1 )

   Hi to all the smiling eyes ,

                       '' After thirty years .....'' is not about a suspense thriller , yeah dear , nor is it about any murder mystery...! It is about some treasure which I borrowed from my mom , to share with you all ( aha ! the mystery ends here ) .

                  And , before I start to write anything concerning these designs , I must tell you all very honestly that these are  NOT my original works . As I earlier told you that these are all ' borrowed ' from my mom's collection .

                I know that many of you will find some of these designs still in your collection . These are from a magazine ''SOVIET NAARI '' ( 'naari ' means ' woman ' in Hindi ) A complete woman magazine of its time , covering all the issues , from cookery to stitching and knitting , from political to parenting and kids' crafts ...

                  A lovely magazine revisited . As I don't have many designs left , I'll share all that is left with me , in this post , and a few in my next posts as well . The designs are presented as it is , but I've only given them colours ...

            I know I love this doll... so cute ...

            Corner designs ...

                  I myself embroidered this on my pillow case , ages ago...But now I think it will also look lovely on trays and especially on glass-painting...

          Border design repeated twice more for a dense look .

           A single pattern ...

             More designs are on the way ... And before leaving , I'll once more tell you all that these are  NOT my original works ...

           So , bye bye , see you next week with some more of my mom's collection .
