All my pieces begin life as white cloth and I use dyeing and printing and transfer dyeing/printing to create colour.They are then heavily stitched by hand or by machine ( I use a normal domestic machine)
I am actually surprised at how much work I have actually made , given that I have been on the road much of the time and lived without power for three months, but then it is my full-time job, and like any other job it would be good to have a payday!
Prices are in Euros first ( with the Aus dollar and US dollar conversions in brackets)
Hand dyed cloth. Entirely hand embroidered and hand stitched. Hand printed with a woodblock I designed and which was made in India. The blue part of the piece has been stitched with metallic thread to create a sparkling in the sky. I have included detail shots so you can see the stitching.
Measurement: 58 cm x 135 cm
2,500€ ( $3,880AUS and $2800US) SOLD

Nice Satin Printing India blog and i will share to my friends. Also i suggest Textile Printing Delhi.
Good evening,
We are going to the Pour l'amour du fil fair in Nantes and we would like to have free tickets because we would rather buy something from you than pay for tickets. We come at 5 and we promise to buy you for the amount of the price of the entries.
You can email them to me.
I thank you in advance
Anita
