The Tutorial

For us designers be it in any field we are in some way or the other proficient in creating a a design or a motif out of a motif and make it our own. Inspirations taking from somewhere or the other defines and tempts us to create a version which depicts our take on a certain form of pattern. For us it is similar to giving a comment on a certain notion just visually rather than verbally.
This was my take on a small circular filigree motif that I found and decided to create a south Asian inspired jewelry /necklace piece which I then joined in to give a rather heavy lace like damask look to the design.
I have written down instruction within the image to give an idea on how I went about it.

To the readers of my blog perhaps You would like to try this exercise and post your take on a certain image on my blog. It would be great to see some creative pieces.

Image
When the COVID 19 suddenly impacted the whole world. With the shortage of face masks people were trying to figure out how to provide/produce proper PPE  for essential workers and our front liners. With the shortage of  face masks along with many community members of  Richmond Virginia I decided to become  member of  RVA masks for health. We covered requests with specific guidelines from hospitals, front liners, retirement homes pretty much all essential workers needs.  I noticed that each facility had style & color requirements. However they would utilize whatever was offered when it came to color or print. As the masks became the norm it was evident, at least for me, that since it had become mandatory to wear it indoors specifically, it became an accessory that impacted our choices in buying  the perfect fabric (if stitching it yourself) Tried picking out the print, color and style that resonated with us the most.  These are some of the prints I used for stitching for my kids and

Sussi the traditional weaving pattern

Image
Back when I was a student my weaving teacher had asked us to re invent a traditional woven pattern called "Sussi" famous in interior Sindh where the threads are predominately colorful or single colored with patterns made out of white and black threads only. However as time and culture evolved so did the design and color patterns. These are my takes on it. The first colorful pattern with various material insertions is a table cloth finished with an orange handwoven lace and the second is a recently woven shawl for a customer on a similar design pattern but with a grey background. My love for creating hand product shas grown immencely.

Image

I must admit creativity is sometimes like an addictive flow of ideas which must be converted in to a visual format for either others to see or just for you to satisfy your self. Here are some of my design prints which I have worked in a set repeat pattern and size.
