I’ve got a love/hate relationship with macrame feathers. I do love looking at them and even making them sometimes. But I always wonder about how all that feather time could be spent developing different techniques or learning to fashion different objects out of knots. I’ll also admit to feeling some pangs of defeat when asked to swap my fish out for feathers in some of the dip dyed oceany designs I make. Being asked to remove traces of yourself from your designs can be hard. Yet, I still go into those projects by mustering the creative energy to make the best damn feathers I’m capable of. Because there’s part of me that has come to recognize that what you put into what you make is probably more important than what you’re actually making. These, right here, are the best damn feathers I’ve ever made. I made them using my 3mm recycled cotton string (which I use in my work pretty exclusively nowadays cause it’s seriously awesome). Each feather is dip dyed then dried multiple times to give it all the dimension possible. The thing itself might not be novel or terribly exciting. But the care that goes into it is still everything.

To strong women, may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them!
Popping in here after ages to show my face, just because.
Also, speaking of girl power, I was recently invited to the launch of the Samasta Girl, designed by 8 year old Mahika- yeah well, she was involved in the decision making process right from sourcing to finishing.
The @samastaonline store has a vibrant vibe to it and the pretty cuts and colours of dresses, western wear, sarees and kurtas were amazing. I particularly loved the baby bedding and PJs and wished V was still an infant. But mostly I loved how elegant their clothes were- not too dressy but still statement pieces and comfortable- just the way I like them.
It was an absolute pleasure interacting with Mridulika and even a throat infection couldn't stop her infectious enthusiasm for handloom. If you're in the Alwarpet area, I'd suggest you visit the store to see the collection for yourself. Ask to see their silk dupattas and cotton dresses, please.

P.s. Couldn't resist and we're sporting something I picked up for V and me. .
Do keep an eye out for my stories as I share some snippets of the store and some clothes I got to try
