My friend Vivek bought me new red pen and a sketchbook...so this happened...
Some elements that I love and an integral part of me..not the nicest sketch..but was fun sketching after sooo long..
The Lambani are a gypsy tribe from
Karnataka and are the people who used to be the re-cyclers of Goa. They
adorn their hair with these hand beaten aluminium clips. I have added some detailing to them from stuff sourced from Chandni chowk and some made on my own. I love gypsies!!!!!
My new found insect love continues....
The accessories are made from seeds from Shantiniketan, West Bengal.
The Moth is made of natural dyed lace!!!!
Yay!!! what fun!!!
Alyen Leeachum Foning. I am a Textile, Fashion and Accessory Designer by profession, illustrator.... otherwise a strange concoction of many many things.... I love being a soulful hippie, a partial goth, sometimes a huge anime and manga otaku, tribal woman from the north east, orient lover, crafty DIY person, Fashionista, Mystic gypsy woman.... soooo much more.
It's funny that I thought that I could describe myself and write down all the ingredients that make me ..me. But it's a tough. So I guess it it will anyway be more fun if you discover one picture at a time.
