Embroidered & appliqued Sunset made with silk & wool rovings


Inspiration for this wallpiece came from an actual sunset seen from my balcony. By the time I made the background,the ideas for the composition kept changing & reshaping. Some wool & silk rovings went under a layer of tissue. Some were overlapping. An orange hillock appeared. Woolen & silk tassels cut from left over fabics came in handy as grasses. The lowermost layer is of khadi silk. The trees are in the process of being made, using yarn & embroidery. It's all handstitched, without using any glue. I shall be completing the picture in a few days with little more embroidery added to it. I find such work extremely soothing for my nerves...almost like meditation!!

More linen & bedcovers in cotton & silk

Hi all!
I'm uploading images on my mother's behalf. She's currently undergoing treatment & rehab for her chronic migraine.

Below are images of linen projects that were completed by her over the past 8-10 years.
The rooster curtain & some of the vibrant bed linen below are by far my favorites.

Enjoy!
