This is a piece I've started on, which is inpired by India. There's lots more embroidery on it still to come.India is so rich in beauty, colour, culture, religion, amazing textiles and architecture. Although I haven't been there before it is one place that inspires me creatively. So I wanted to do a post that celebrated all these wonderful aspects of India and gives lots of inspirational avenues to explore the many aspects of Indian style.
So sit back, pour yourself a cup of Chia, put your speakers on, imagine you are wrapped up in an exotic embroidered sari in your favourite colour and let yourself slip through space and time into a land of enchantment, visiting ancient temples, taking in the aromas of the many spices in the Indian Bazaars and let your spirit dance to the beat of the drums....

Darlene, the first song is from Slumdog Millionaire. I love it - it makes me want to put bells on my ankles, grab a veil and dance around the house (of course when no one is looking).
