Mudi kuttu/pearl knots

2012-06-16T07:25:00.003+05:30

Now a days what we have calling pearl knots/french knots are called as Mudi kuttu in olden days. These French knots we can use as like in the place of beads,chips, etc., Sometimes we can use for filling also.

Here I have done French knots for the design on my bed sheet.Four colors i took to complete this bed sheet.Here we can see that....... The colors i have used are green, red, violet, blue color.

Its worked on pure cotton bed sheet. So it took just 3 days to complete this project.The beauty of mudi kuttu design is improved the beauty of my bed sheet. wat u say frnds....

French knots Tutorial:

Method 1: French knots are done by holding the thread in left hand and wrapping the thread and then inserting in to the fabric. By this method you have to put down the hoop for each knot.

Method 2: It is usually not understand by saying. so that's why i will post the video tutorial of this very soon.

The full bed sheet after completion of project is.......

I hope all of you like this. plz post ur feelings through ur comments........

Bommala koluvu

2012-06-11T18:03:00.000+05:30

Recently i have attended for bommala koluvu.

Bommala Koluvu is a display of dolls and toys depicting Gods of the Hindu pantheon on a platform of steps like in the picture. The steps are always numbered odd for some reason. One can follow a specific theme in displays like depicting the Ramayana or scenes from it or other mythologies. Or, one can display the household dolls without any specific theme.

now iam posting some pictures of that function.

But, I am glad that our traditions are alive and available to the next gen.

2012-05-09T21:48:00.000+05:30

Today we are seeing how to make best out of waste. That means today we are learning making of pen holder with waste or good bangles.......

i think now you have a clear idea. Initially the materials required for this craft are:

Waste or good bangles, gum bottle. that's all. very simple and small budget for this craft.

step:1---initially take the bangles which are not useful now to wear.

Step:2--- Take gum bottle to attach the bangles one by one.

In the below figure,we are seeing how to arrange them in a pen holder model.

step:3--- place a gum on bangle like shown in the below figure

step3


step4

Step:4--- the below figure showing the outcome of pen holder.

The final look of this craft is like this below figure....

Screen printing on bed sheet

2012-04-26T22:12:00.001+05:30

This is my first screen printing work,kindly give your feed back.

The making of screens involves a process by which you get the design printed on a transparent stencil sheet. Then apply a special light sensitive ink on the muslin cloth mounted on a square frame. Expose the screen with the stencil under it to light..... etc. This is a very long process.

I have done a screen printing on pink color bed sheet with green color design as my first trail.

This is on pillow cover.

This is the border i used to print all over the bed sheet.

For central part iam thinking in which model i have to print.
very soonly i will post that also....
keep watching frnds...........

On a saturday afternoon in a good mood, got an idea to share all recent collection to you. So tried to capture few good jewellery sets!!hehee, pretty junk stuff!!!Hope you enjoy these!!!

Glass Painting

2012-04-24T21:10:00.001+05:30

Actually iam very much interested about the arts and crafts. But to learn those arts and crafts, there is no option at my village.So, that's why me itself started to learn through net and with my own ideas.

In the same way, recently i had done an experiment with glass painting.Now i want to share that glass painting art with my blog reader friends.

Glass Painting

Any one can guess from where this glass i got?

na idea naaa..........

okay i will say....

This glass is outside cover of T.V. Then i purchased water based glass colors for doing this art.

The above picture is taken with background color is white.

This picture is taken without background(pure glass only)

Now my idea is to frame this glass paint and donate this to my village temple. Because this is my first trail.

If anybody want the pattern of this paint,i will post that design. Also, i will post the procedur of glass paint in step by step procedure if any one needs.

okay... iam eagerly waiting for the comments of my blog readers.......

jewellery model embroidary

2012-04-21T12:03:00.002+05:30

This is a different type of embroidary. Iam saying like this because of one reason. that is nothing but this embroidary is looking like a jewellery model.

This jewellery is called as MOLA PATTI. Many of our ladies are like this jewellery very much. but so many of us are not able to buy this.That's we have made this type of embroidary.

After seeing this design wat you say? am i correct or not? is this design like jewellery or not?

This is the central flower of the jewellery model embroidary design. In this various types of stitches are used like long and short stitch, pearl stitch, etc.,

This is the close view of that design.

These are the branches which are stitched all over the sari. This design is combination of stem stitch,long and short stitch, pearl stitch etc.,

2012-04-13T10:15:00.002+05:30

hand embroidary on White sari

2012-02-20T12:51:00.001+05:30

In olden days, at the night time all women are wear a white sari. This is my mother's sari.
plain white sari is boring.. thats why my mother made hand embroidary on this white sari. This type of stems are
occupied on overall sari. Almost it takes 13 to 14 stems .

My mother made different types of stitches on this sari. They are chain stitch, Mudda stitch(filling stitch),etc.,
