Inspiration
Sitting on the terrace, pondering over her day. She broods with resolved concentration. The impenetrable silence of the night corroborates every reason she has to languor of nothing. She lacks company but is not looking for one. A gentle breeze and a pleasant scent of a nameless face strolling her terrace rails. They speak of rituals, traditions, a life the anonymous lady knew as a little girl wandering that same space. Friendly banter, stories of generous ancestors – filled the night and crushed the hush of the night. Heavy eyelids, drooping with the day’s weariness she drifts in the night.
We all have a few anonymous well-wishers our guard in angels. Enjoy the earthy feeling of this linen and envelope yourself in it’s mysterious appeal

Description
Fabric:
The fabric is a pure linen weave.
Printing:
The face outlines are screen printed on the fabric. Screen printing is a method in which ink is applied directly to the surface to be printed (substrate). The image to be printed is photographically transferred to a very fine fabric (the screen) such that the non-printing areas are blocked off and the fabric serves as a stencil. The ink is wiped across the screen to pass through the unblocked pores and reach the substrate. For each color to be printed a separate screen is prepared and the process is repeated. It is tedious and painstakingly done by hand.
The fabric, the colour combination and the design….. all put together made this saree a perfect wear for an important official event! Loved draping this creation of Olee
