Inspiration...Saira's Saris

As always, i'm on a mission! I'm constantly on the look out for inspiring patterns, designs and colours to translate into prints and artwork, and this week i had a real treat when a friend of mine showed me these:






Saira's collection of saris looked wonderful all together with beautiful bold coloured silks and embroidery detail, some of them were her mothers, and some more recent, but altogether they looked stunning. 
I'm going to be working with Saira to produce some artwork for a new project of hers (more on this later), and what a great source of inspiration to have !
