Wow! I found some more inspiration for colour and beading. Indian Sari's aren't they just stunning and more often than not have an abundance of colour and pattern.
I have my little list of things that I would like to talk about on here but sometimes something else just comes up and it has to be shared.
My youngest daugher Alana plays hockey (6 aside at her age of 6.5yrs - and field hockey for you international visitors to this blog) and one of the fields that we travel to is a predominantly Indian (Asian) community. Many of the shops in Papatoetoe have Indian shops featuring some truly gorgeous sari's for young and old. Both of my daughters just love it when we stop at the lights so they can ogle at the beautiful displays.
When we went past last weekend it truly became apparent to me just how beautiful they are and that every time I looked at them I kept imagining the kinds of jewellery I could make to match the fabrics without even realising I was doing it.
So I just had to share this beauty with you of some pictures I found online to show you what I mean. You can imagine just how my mind is racing with ideas just from typing up this blog even.
Enjoy and look up some more images to give yourself some inspiration.
Aren't the colours amazing? I recently saw an Indian wedding on tv - 500 odd guests and an absolutely stunning sea of colour! The poor bride had to really work hard to stand out (which she did in hot pink!).
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Mel, the hot pink would have been amazing. The photos I found online were no where near as colourful as the ones in the shops we pass.
