 hi ,
    
      today's collection is black and white --- a classic combination , never ageing with time and an all-time hit .

       From borders to single motifs , from floral to leaves --- i have it all . Modern circulars to classic henna-inspired ones , imagination ran wildly while making these motifs .



   

              Brush-paint it on pillow-cases or table mats and runners . Paint / embroider it on dresses , cushions , curtains , wall-pieces , bed-covers , etc. Or block-print it on your desired surface .

Henna-inspired paisley

 Hello,

        Try making this pattern on your hands as a henna design, or on other surfaces you prefer. Like painting on bed sheets , tablecloths , stoles , curtains ,cushions , wall panel ( like this one I made ) ...the playgrounds are endless . I said '' playground '' because creating something is similar to playing...as I think !!! ...Starting with a very common and simple paisley pattern , I gave it a henna-inspired touch . A step by step process is shown here...go ahead , discover a paisley beauty !

closeups of the pencil sketches...

for the first time I've tried my ( not-so-new ) water colour pencils...and see I'm loving it !!

closeup...I gave some touches with wet brush on all the pinks and browns , and dabbed the blue background and mixed all the pencil lines.

                                                                      ...finished .
