A blouse.!

The blue colored blouse that I am wearing in the picture, is stitched out of one such piece of fabric, picked up by my daughter!

A very traditional fabric used, for blouses, particularly in the rural areas, where I live in India॥Maharashtra( the state where Mumbaee...Bombay..is)।
The nose ornament,that I am wearing is also very traditional in this region, except, for the size thats seen in the .....what I am wearing is smaller than the traditionally worn piece of jewelery !

My daughter the compulsive scrap collector.

My daughter, who has been a partner in crime as far as stashing & collecting fabric goes, is now selling the stunning & gargantuan fabric collection which she amassed over the past 1 year while in India.
So far, my Indian friends & I have been the lucky recipients of her finds.
She will be putting up the collection for sale after the 20th of March, once she has returned to the UK (Cambridge). However, she's put up pictures of her collection on her blog.
As a weaver & fiber artist, she has extensive knowledge of textiles & their availability, especially in India. Feel free to ask her for special requests or orders before the 27th of Feb 2009.
