Leicester

After a busy week at New Designers, i decided to make a day trip to Leicester to meet some family and be at what is called India in England, the very famous Melton and Belgrave road, Rusheymead. From sarees to bangles to shrines to food. I was looking to see how i could further my project of mehndi and knew that Leicester would be the best and closest place for me to find inspiration.

I saw alot of colour but already use alot of that in all my projects and was looking to find something different.

On the saree's, i saw alot of lace as its in fashion and everywhere now. I have decided to start sketching lace designs, maybe with an Indian touch or maybe without. I am contemplating whether i should carry on the Indian theme or to move away from it completely. I must say, i do thoroughly enjoy it as it is very close to me and my culture and i can relate to it but it is best i give it a go and see how my designs turn out with the indian theme because i will never know otherwise.

I am really excited to get going and start drawing tomorro, nice and early!

will give you updates on the progress of my designs.
