Inspiration
On a lazy Saturday afternoon, he ambles in my garden that is his labor of love. His days and noon are spent in tilling the soil, grooming the flowers and pruning the leaves. He has built a home for the larks and sparrows and bees and burrows. He doesn’t talk much, he does smile but I can’t tell who smiles back as my garden is in slumber under the soft sun. He caresses the flowers with his seasoned fingers . He tends to them without a need but does not wake them up from their sleep. I am watching his humble demeanor. He plucks a tall sunflower glowing in golden radiance. The garden is mine not his. Is that a theft?
Indeed it is, but a theft for love. Every twilight he takes our leave to meet his sweetheart in his cove of dignity and pride. My gardener’s little girl is his very own sunshine for whom the theft of a sunflower just seems perfectly fine.
Golden and radiant sunflowers dazzle on this balmy saree. Feel the exuberance of this shimmering magic with splashes of sunflowers – just joy!

Description
Fabric:
The prints get life on an upcycled silk variety. Upcycled silk is woven from left of pure silk yarns of different kinds. Instead of disposing off these left over silk yarns, I have reused them to create a smooth and free flowing silk fabric. It does not crush easily.
Printing:
The detailed design and the vibrancy of the shades can only be achieved by quality digital prints.
Digital textile printing begins with the art work. We first create an image either by hand work or directly on the computer and convert it to a digital format. Digital textile printing uses large scale inkjet technology and dye (instead of ink).We first pre-treat the fabric with liquid solutions that prepare it to accept the dye and better absorb the color. Then the fabric is fed through the printer, which sprays the dye onto the textile with tiny droplets. The final step is fixing the fabric, a process that ensures the permanency of the design. Depending on the type of textile and type of dye, fixing may involve steam, dry heat, or pressure or all a combination of these processes.
