ODE TO MARIO

 Mario de Miranda, was an Indian cartoonist and painter based in Goa.One of the best illustrators, he travelled to different countries and captured the local cultures through his black and white illustrations. He had an interesting style which inspired this applique and embroidery piece. Farewell Mario Miranda...and thank you.

A STITCH IN TIME....









:: This patchwork quilt combines Indian block prints that i had stored for years and finally I decided to use them. The patchwork itself took a couple of weeks but the running stitches also called Kantha stitch took  almost 6 months.
