Hello friends, last few weeks my parents, sister and her kids visited us in Bangalore. It was almost after a long time they were with us here in Bangalore. My all days went with continuous talk, giggles and fun with them. I could not do much productive than spending a productive time with them :).......These days I am tied up with some new work related task...and working on new contemporary warli assignment. This was a long due idea since Dec2011, which I am currently working on :).
This post is dedicated to my last silk cushion cover warli Krishna series. Without more words I will take you to the pics of it :).
It has got warli Radha-Krishna in the center surrounded by Gopikas serving them with musical instruments and offerings. I have reused the concept of boarder effect from my past post, where warli Gop-Gopikas doing dandiya nritya (dance) on it.
Beads, stones and highlighter are used for decorating purpose.
In the end, all warli Krishna series cushion covers looks like as shown in below

Yea..I just loved the title for this post :)...it hardly took some sec to click the title :)...'Yoggy Yoga@Home'. Name suggests that it has to do something with Yoga and Home. The work which I am going to share here is inspired by my past post The Green Thumb Yoga. It was one of the order of cushion covers by Rakhi from Spinning Wheel about whom I have wrote in my past posts. Rakhi loved the warli boys doing yoga in that post. She wanted me to use the same theme for four cushion covers which will give kinda ethnic, traditional aura to home furniture. However, I was totally unaware of how to put forward one warli theme with four artwork (although it is cushion cover, for me it is an artwork). I just sat with my colors, brushes and chintu (small) painting table and off course without any clue or rough idea about how to show four cushion covers differently but with the same theme. Ultimately things happened in the flow with below end results :). I loved the making of those cushion covers from nowhere to somewhere.
Finally how they look all together :)......
I would like to share my experience on working with different kinda fabric apart from working with canvas or acrylics friendly cottony fabric. As an artist I was always comfortable working with canvas or hard cotton fabric when it comes to acrylics. However, when I was working with the different materials of cushion covers, it was bit different experience, such as just one or two cotes were just not sufficient for them, material was soaking more of color, spreading of color was not accepted. It was altogether a great learning and fun for me working with the cotton mixed silk, nylon mixed silk fabric with acrylics.

As I have mentioned in two of my last posts about the bulk order of cushion covers on which I was working. I have recently finished with it. The last month was totally dedicated to the themes requested by Rakhi for those cushion covers. Few of them had a theme Warli Krishna. Rakhi has got her home decor accessories and furniture shop called Spinning Wheel in Whitefield, Bangalore. Each stuff in her shop has got elegant, ethnic, traditional Indian elegance and unique feature on its own. I will post in detail about it soon :).
Today I am posting one of the cushion cover which I have painted with my lil warli Krishna :)
When I started with it I was totally clue less about how do I showcase my krishna on it?..... But as it progressed, I was totally in love with my ....Jhula jhule Nandlaala....Radhe Sang jhula jhule Nandlaala...:)
At one side of cushion cover, warli Radha Krishna are celebrating the silence with nature. Where as the other side has, warli Gopikas celebrating the tarpa dance with sound. It has got deadly combo of celebration with silence and sound :).
I have used stones for Krishna's morpankh and beads for Gopikas tarpa sticks.
I will post some more hand painted cushion covers with different themes soon.
