Pictured here is the Ilkal saree, a traditional saree named from the town of Ilkal in Karnataka, Bangalore 🇮🇳. Ilkal sarees are woven with cotton and silk for the body and pallu respectively. I had so much fun learning a little more about my Kannada culture while drawing this ❤️. I also enjoyed being able to connect and collaborate with some beautiful south Asian women on this! 🥰

Swipe to the other saree types drawn by South Asian artists and give them a follow while you’re at it ✨

🌸 A N A R K A L I 🌸

Here’s my favourite collaboration with some of my favourite South Asian Artists from across the globe. 
It was themed as traditional South Asian Outfits and I decided to go with Anarkalis which is for sure a staple clothing in every desi girl’s wardrobe and I could never stop swooning over these ever.
This will always be my go-to choice for a comfort Indian ensemble and I enjoyed illustrating something that’s very close to my heart. 💕

Mentioned below are the collaborators and I am so pleased to work with such creative and lovely people. Do check out their choice of outfits and show some love ❤️

About a month ago, I was wishing I could connect with more desi artists instead of just working in isolation without a sense of community. 
.
I’m so grateful to have met these absolutely wonderful and incredibly driven artists and gotten the chance to collaborate with them on something that is so close to me-South Asian outfits. 
.
Swipe to see what fifteen different artists put together. This collaboration for me is a showcase of our culture- it is not a monolith it is so diverse. This is an example of the diversity in outfits, fabrics, patterns and styles we have. 
.
My piece is a Bandhani-inspired design. Do you think I did justice?

Nauvari Sari: a traditional drape from Maharashtra, India using a sari that is nine yards as opposed to the regular six ;)
I associate it most strongly with the warrior women I saw in South Asian history/mythology (e.g Rani of Jhansi), who wore it because it allowed for more freedom of movement than a regular sari!!!

Paired up with a bunch of amazing South Asian artists on regional attire of South Asia for my second collab 🤩😍
Check out the other artists and their amazing creations in the next couple of slides and below!

Milk & Cardamom Cake 
.
.
Got the opportunity to participate in a desi food collab so wanted to highlight a desi baker and chef! 
.
.
I love to bake and it is not something my parents ever really did growing up, so im always on the hunt for new recipes to try and bloggers to follow. 
.
.
I came across @milkandcardamom and fell in the love with the photography, simplicity, and flavor combos! 
If you're looking for a food account to follow I would definitely recommend Hetal's.

ID: Gulab jamun bundt cake from @milkandcardamom. It is a mini bundt cake with white icing and pink rose petals sprinkled on top. The background is light pink.
