Kerala Cotton saree screen printed

I've been very busy since last month. So could not work on any saree, all the colors were sitting idle :-).  For Dasara I had 2 days holidays. So screen printed on two sarees, one of them is Kerala Cotton saree.
On the border printed with Ambari designs and and on the body also printed small motifs of the same designs.
Closer view of the motif:

Another one is Black color South cotton, with Orange border, printed with two colors:
Here is the motif: 
And for the  pleats, flower motifs:
Still orders from my friends are pending. Hope to complete those soon. Once completed definitely share those designs with you. 

Until then,
Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

  3. Hi ranjana,
    I just loved the Kerala saree, The elephant motif gives a very royal look to the saree. Second sareee I think you should have used similar colours to that of border to make it more appealing.

  11. All your works on screen printing are awesome.
    I just completed a 2 day training course in screen printing yesterday and started experimenting. I have one query for you. Have you purchased the printing board or do you use any other table for the purpose? Please let me know.

  14. Its a great post, Kerala has a unique culture and is rich in its natural resource, traditional art and culture, and hence the art work clearly depicts the importance of it. And to tell about the Kerala saree its known for its color and its simple art works.
