Block Printed fabric
I love to do arty things and get inspired to do DIY stuff all the time but so lazy that i need lots of energy to start some project..even if i start doing something most of the time with some reason i stop in the middle ...hence i have lots and lots of unfinished projects...but thanks to my hubby... he pushes me long way to start up & finish few arty stuff... So yesterday he gave me deadline of 1 week to make ready a fabric which he can use it on top of grass mat (Dharbe chaape)...it is very auspicious and right way to be seated while performing prayers he says.... but unfortunately its so pricky uncomfortable....
So this gave me oppurtunity to make use of my arty hands and at same time really wanted to finish project very soon as my son is having holidays & he always wants to try his hand & finaly mess the project...so i opted for Block print... which is really easy & quick....
I really thank my Guru of arts....my sister Shilpa... for the wonderful kalamkari wooden block...very sweet of her she really takes pain to search...get the things done...give ideas...teach me... She is my encyclopedia of arts...love you akka...
So now here is the finished block printed fabric.
Well the process is very simple,....just used few wooden blocks and applied fabric paint to it with brush and stamp the block on fabric in desired pattern... after an hour of drying it ready to use (to fix color on fabric...iron it on reverse side )
few pictures of project in progress...
finally the picture showing the usage of fabric by my son...he liked it & as always appreciated me (like my Mom )...very sweet of them...aaahhhh now hope my hubby likes it too...dont know if he wants it to be adhered to mat... neways .what do u guys think..let me know
