a simple tank, made a little more special with two hand-beaded hibiscus flowers. each flower is carefully beaded by hand using the Aari method, turning an everyday piece into something unique.
the hibiscus is a little piece of my India home; my mom had this tree in our garden, and I’d see it every day on my way to school and again when I came home. it was basically my very own landmark. if I saw the hibiscus, I knew that was my home.
and yes… I may or may not have occasionally eaten one too lol.
so naturally, it had to make its way onto a piece of clothing as a part of my childhood collection. a flower I grew up with, as I’m sure many of you have, now a part of my everyday rotation!

So this is the first successful piece that I made!
(…after many failed attempts lol)
And with as close to perfection as I can humanly get, I place the patches…
