Painting on kurtis

Painting on real nice kurti was scary initially.So I tried painting on an old kurti of mine and wore it.Then started painting on newer ones and on ones which my friends and family were generous to let me try on.Things  which I found out while painting:
  • Keep it simple.People don't enjoy too much of any design on their kurtis..
  • Make sure you don't let the paint spread.If at all it spreads think innovatively,don't panic .Follow the principle,design follows the paint.:)
  • You can divide the spaces on Kurti to mainly neck,sleeves,a small design on upper back,borders for slits or the end of the kurti,while doing the whole front make sure you do small repeated designs or stop by making a medium sized design on one corner or centre.
  • Kurti may not fit to an embroidery ring.You have to get used to painting on a neatly spread out Kurti.
  • Make sure to insert lots of newspaper in between two layers of kurti to avoid spread of paint from front to back.
