Day 10

Bandhani! I adore it. Its just that i couldnt find a casual bandhani top, all i could see at stores were tunics and some more tunics.



So i bought some material and made me an uber comfy top with faux half jacket style, elastic to add waist, and belt at the back for extra shape to the top.





a closer look at the neckline detail :



It goes well with my skinny jeans.

Day 9

Old flared jeans, so out of style and anyways they dont even look good on me. so time for some alterations.
Oh thick elastic band, help me.



This is how it looks like now.





Hardly took 5 mins. I like it :D

On an aside

Check it out! I just love peacock designs. So got me this hairclip with Meenakari work some days ago:



Infact, I like it so much that I am going to make it my family heirloom, sorta 'kohinoor heera' thing :D my kids and grandkids will fight for it.

Day 8

So I had this khadi kurta which was all nice and comfortable BUT had a collar *shrieks*, but i couldnt just cut and throw the collar away coz it was filled with very nice embroidery -


awwwwww

Hence i just removed the collar, cut it into equal halves, inverted and placed them on the neckline like this -



and tucked it in, sewed it on the inner side like this -



Viola!

Day 7

While eating a chocolate cake today, my train of thought was as follows:
yummm cake >> silky chocolaty icing >> silk, brown >> scarf! oh no :(

Once upon a time i saw a brown abstract printed silk scarf, which i knew was of no use to me, but i still went ahead and bought it :X and i lived guiltily ever after.

So i thought, why not just cut-sew it on an equally useless brown top.
before:


after:

I pronounce thee not guilty :D

Day 6

Time to pick up pace. hehe i think kavisto 15 will take more than a month to get completed.
Mummy asked me to paint this 'once black' pot. Long ago, i had glued tiny mirrors on it, the scars still remain.



Theme inspiration: warli art. Warli tribes usually depict themselves hunting, cutting wood, etc, etc in their paintings.

Finished it in a jiffy. Presenting... the warlied pot accompanied by bamboo plant



Lets take a closer look. There was just one mirror piece remaining, so it let it be and painted around it. Here is a dude using it, while he is busy whistling



..at the lady posing and being photographed



..while two kids are playing



..and a filmi scene happening



..plz dont stop the music



..choreographed dancing eh



... oops one guy tripped while he was busy oogling at the photographed lady

Day 5

Plain Jane, the next door girl,
No ruffles, no lace neither did she twirl,
Then came the needle and let the design unfurl,
A stitch here, a pattern there,
Presenting - the new pink girl.
