“Pen Ornamentation”
“Ornamental Pen and Ink
is the key to Designer’s mental block.”
“Pen and ink is not a simple media for designer,
certainly it is a sharp tool for designers ornamental mind opening”.
As mentioned above, the ornamental mind of designer should not be eraser
friendly; it should be like the memories of human mind. And when that attitude
is activated, it certainly will remove all the carelessness and lazy attitude.
This makes the mind of a designer completely focused towards scribbling with
pen and ink in versatile minute forms and textures. These forms and textures
may seem meaningless in the initial stage but later on with keen observation
while working, it gives definite meaning, which harmoniously flows towards
symphonic ally and frame the picture. Once it is done it looks as if someone
has rendered magically spine music into design where the pen is singing and the
spread ink is tapping the chord. No doubt this can be felt by the masses along
with designer’s soul.
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7aJC4cNG2g/Uyl7gY0btsI/AAAAAAAAJEU/BqpRFRqzqxQ/s1600/ornamentation+neena1.jpg)
“There is no need to be surprised as the
innocence of nature plays a major role in its effortless, amazing creation
which is endless going towards infinity, then how one can be bored in life with
its accountability. For example, God has created paradise earth which is not
possible by any human habitat to account forever, where every transparent
discovery of human shows fresh creation of God and how one can bring it on
paper every creation. Even when thousands and thousands of designers get
united, they will not be able to cover the God’s created wonderful paradise of
earth. Think when all trees of Earth
were PENS [kalam] and the OCEAN were INK with seven oceans behind it to add to
its supply, yet would not the WORDS of GOD be exhausted in writing for GOD is exalted
in power, full of wisdom, then work as above mentioned scribbling in the praise
of God’s bounteous paradise glory then also the ink and “Kalam” will never get
exhausted and work will remain incomplete, that shows and makes us understand,
why to worry or fear. Do as much as possible and enjoy life”.
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4YMBlPkD-9U/Uyl7lh6v6XI/AAAAAAAAJEk/AJcYTZ8lRqk/s1600/ornamentation+neena3.jpg)
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-waEk9I0EEDQ/Uyl8b3SM0gI/AAAAAAAAJE8/J_iM96noWWY/s1600/rutusha2.jpg)
The above mentioned
is a mirror and understanding, which shows the human habits to carry forward
the same work in better style and technique from one habitat era to another
era.
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7mdCpL7quY0/Uyl8brEUZ0I/AAAAAAAAJE0/tFbBgMsLWxM/s1600/rutusha3.jpg)
As we all know that,
we cannot tabulate love and affection in the same style, we cannot frame the
creativity, it flows with its own innocence universally and as we bow down with
knowledge and praise that, we all grow much better.
Another example, to collect all the gold,
rubies and pearls of the earth and make a jewel even then there is no
comparison to God’s created earth paradise. That shows whatever and whenever,
anywhere on this earth if somebody tries to name such activities as mentioned
above it is his or hers mind interpretation, explanation or justification for
claiming they found, made or created any things, which is not the truth,
because we human only finds the way of doing things through discovery from Gods
creation as a creature.
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z6tke9ifeLQ/Uyl8fh364GI/AAAAAAAAJFI/XvkUXhXxS9s/s1600/rutusha8.jpg)
With the above
understanding one can live thousand years without getting bored and workless.
That is, which I feel, is a designer’s soul that never dies.
It
was a very difficult task for me to introduce such above mentioned foundation
course for fresh learners at GIFT NGO, which really took me almost 10 years to
understand and evaluate how it is important actually, which is the key to
learner’s mind.
For example, to
understand much better about the above subject one need to do minute and random
scribbling in single style, in selected shapes with composition skills to
complete the subject. One can add clothing to the subject through ornamental
scribbling and in the same way we can understand gist and gesture like the
story of Zen, and with that designer can walk for their entire life.
Why
the above subject is most important in a designer’s life today? Normally and
simply they get confused and lost with internet surfing and flipping the pages
in the library and don’t find sufficient material which they can use in their
professional practice, that is why GIFT’s (Gandhi Institute Fashion and
Textile) common foundation course learning for fresh learners helps open their
mental blocks in few hours. And that we would like to share with transparency
for the benefit of global designers’ community and Design Institutes through
various sources. That is why we have launched our website (www.gift-india.com), and added the beneficial materials on Face book, Google Blogs and many
more social media. Simply GIFT is an NGO, that is why we always work in favour
of universal learners, which can be access from blogger profile Khalid Ameer
Rafique or gift Gandhi institute ahmedabad or institute of fashion and textile
anywhere in the world.
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tTj_MWfWagQ/Uyl83ZZcIUI/AAAAAAAAJFw/I3XgQaQGQY8/s1600/gurdeep7.jpg)
How GIFT students are
utilizing the above learning in their profession is normally unknown to the
Global Design Institutes. For Example the above mentioned pen and ink
scribbling can be mixed with versatile and different media and certainly blend
like soluble in anything or in any liquid without losing its identity.
GIFT
students’ uses and utilizes the above learning in versatile subjects. For
Example, in Fashion; Fashion Illustration; Fashion Accessories; Body Make ups,
etc., Textile, Minute Detailing for print Design as well as woven design and
for Jewellery Design pouring like precious stones in any metal, which reflects
nature blooming very near and reachable to the humans to admire the beauty and
restrain the glances of its Godly effect
like, two bodies of water flowing and meeting together without a barrier which
cannot be transgressed and both identity remains the same, then how can one
deny the truth of the Lord.
The results of GIFT Fresh Students learning is displayed for your
glance for everybody’s growth by the virtue of God Almighty.
Note: The above text shows that a child
becomes genius, which means, one needs to learn how to frame the above learning
in definite context with their professional practice to grow.

At GIFT embossing is taught for multiple purposes such as Fine Arts, Textile and Fashion Accessories. With different types of epoxies one can develop meaningful designs as needed by the course abstract for future professional practice as follows:
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kw4jvRayPvk/UymDTQFeOQI/AAAAAAAAJHg/UDE9Ifd2dl0/s1600/BEYOND+GALLERY+PHOTOS+2013+151.jpg)
No one needs to believe the above mentioned as this is my faith and belief but it is the truth being proved at least since 15 years at NGO GIFT (Gandhi Institute of Fashion and Textile, Ahmedabad) where the fresh learners are live examples to experience the above truth where in a few hours they become master of colours where the understanding and knowledge keeps on increasing day by day. They also become good at Surface ornamentation with versatile forms such as flowers and flowery, fruits, motifs, bale, booties, leaves, grass, trunk, thorns, geometrical forms, and their abstract texture for meaningful synchronization for a shape and look and this is a complete learning in just 25 to 35 hours.
Stencil Designing and its utility:
It is a very easy subject for GIFT fresh learner because it has
been taught at school level, under craft learning activities and in today’s
time there are many manufacturing companies that provide art materials like
stencil having instructions for its use that is used by school learners
especially for their projects and decoration purposes, imposing through various
colored and textured craft paper. But in reality this is not Stencil designing,
it is just a tool used for bringing the above effect.
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DGPEX-39Reg/UymloVWu4sI/AAAAAAAAJMc/snySzOYDuOY/s1600/GIFT+PHOTOS+2012-13+268.jpg)
GIFT learners firstly learn to draw elements of the Earth paradise
nature, in geometrical and abstract forms like creatures mask etc. Later they
learn the conversion of these forms appropriately without losing its character
and meaning in stencil which can be further made into a fine art as well as a
textile print for its versatile utility such as wall hanging with mix and match
medium, table tops and mats, bedspreads, curtains and saris etc. Due to GIFT’s
systematic approach towards teaching it is very easy for GIFT learner to learn
and practice the above.
Further, on conceiving ideas from the above learning one can
utilize stencil for screen printing without exposing the screen technically and
in many more ways which is made flexible at GIFT while learning through
empirical methods.
The above art of stencil can be utilized more in shading to bring
out depth and volume through utilization of air brush while painting through
stencils. It is an amazing style that can be handled by GIFT learners very
easily for making appliqué and patch work on textile for fresh learner. This is
how the above learning certainly helps students in conceptualization for
Fashion, Textile and Home Fashion Textile Interior Decor.
This course is added up with Fashion designing to make GIFT
learner more advanced and equipped with additional knowledge so that it can be
utilized in a versatile manner for making such fashionable Textile and Apparel
prototypes etc.

PENCIL DRAWING AND SHADING
Importance of pencil drawing and
shading symphony in harmonious style for Fashion and Textile figurative weaves
and print Illustrations.
History depicts and shows us from stone-age to modern era how well humans
have built bridges through communication skills in versatile manners which can
be seen historically from stone-age through scratching, scribbling unreadable
text, but certainly brought meaningful graffiti to make others understand their mind’s images and associations which
later on became powerful tools for outreaching to the masses.
Since the “Kalam” (pen) and other
tools like lead in pencil got invented, the baby pencil has been blowing the
minds of humans. And no one has seen the end of the blowing of pencil and it
goes till infinity along with versatile human society and developed minds.
Baby pencil is a very handy tool since childhood to everyone for
scribbling text or any graffiti on paper or in surrounding. Due to the
irresponsible act of elders “that” creation of childhood is normally not
preserved to understand his or hers own mischievous act of baby pencil.
No doubt, baby pencil is an
amazing tool with which a designer’s soul can fly effortlessly in any direction
of creativity like the waves on water, sand dunes in deserts spreaded on green
carpet and force of rain and lightning from the sky because baby pencil is
everybody’s childhood friend.
Today, various numbers of lead pencils are available. Some are hard like
carbon and others are soft like butter. What else the baby pencil need under
its own shelter to blow appropriately as needed from a designer’s soul to form
the needed concept.
The above said understanding reflects
a wonderful bounteous effect which is unimaginable like the great sorcerer
doing his act, the musician blowing the flute or hitting the chord of
instruments and creating symphonious sound which pours like honey into people’s
ears to make them feel like heaven. That shows baby pencil itself as a
magician.
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T8oK410mUfY/UymVnKPCUEI/AAAAAAAAJKs/rXGMASO2XBk/s1600/cz.jpg)
One doesn’t need more time to
command and control the baby pencil for scribbling, graffiti or what so ever in
its utility like an artist. You just need a platform like GIFT where you will
be able to do it as a fresh learner in few hours. That means baby pencil needs
a master and the master needs a “Guru” as depicted in the “Golden Era of Ashram
days”.
One need to have recalling power through empirical method of learning
that makes the learner grow faster and
take command on the baby pencil to write the way they like in their act. Hence
the human mind is fully rendered in versatile permutation and combination of
millions and millions of forms which is actually a memorial jungle of human
memory mixed up with pure and bad soul. That means one need to filter the above
said saying, which will lead our life to a single path as a great articulator with
baby pencil. And if some loses the charity of baby pencil, they loose their
designer’s soul in this competitive era, which means the love and affection
with baby pencil can not be tabulated and framed. It should let it flow with
all supporting human organs on appropriate surface along with the human memory
jungle that certainly will bring out the meaningful form of art which is
actually the visualization power of perfect composition of a designer’s soul.
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_X-v2hMSuOI/UymV0RYOUII/AAAAAAAAJK4/BXpx87SZzMI/s1600/k.jpg)
The most important note for the
fresh learner is that he or she must not develop foolish fear phobia in
learning. They should remember that God is great and He is the Almighty of all
to make everybody’s act perfect. So, why not try as a GIFT fresher and become
the master of baby pencil.
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gquyQRfEb9k/UymV5hfuhiI/AAAAAAAAJLI/NS9UZZ7kUXE/s1600/naro+shading+1.jpg)
When we are talking about baby pencil, there are no big and fancy jargons
in utility of baby pencils creative act. Kindly note that I am not trying to
outlaw the language and protect the baby pencil qualities for the dimension of
human mind. However, I am trying to convey through my recalling power and
continuous versatile research since childhood that the baby pencil is dear to
all and nobody can posses the lock and key to it. It is God who has given us to
use them, so try to use it in any direction to any volume and depth in your art
picture with baby pencil floating in versatile gesture and pressure. Certainly
the user becomes an artist only in few hours and for that you cannot claim to
be a sorcerer but it is your own magic, simply because of God’s grace.
At GIFT Gandhi NGO, from the very first moment to the very last, students
learning consume countless varying lead baby pencils. However, the baby pencil
gets vanished and becomes history for others to learn and then gets converted
into wonderful art pieces; because every single soul of a designer is different
and the work with baby pencil amazes others with its synchronous work.
Normally, the fresh learner tries
to depict the truth in their learning, but at GIFT NGO baby pencil in the
beginning flows uncontrollably for its images for a particular form to
understand the depth and volume in versatile light effects. At GIFT, we blend
in teaching unusual methods of creating images such as fishes flying in the
air, fountains running against the gravitational power, nature wrapped around
the human body, leaves of plant showing geometry, imaginary trees growing in
sorcerer’s style, landscapes proceeding towards infinity, etc. That makes a
learner flow the baby pencil against the normal human style of its utility and
its act that makes the designer’s soul to understand any dimension of any form,
due to that they can add various imaginary dimension in their empirical art
works without any frustration. As a result, the final output is eye-catching
and pleasing.
The queen of baby pencil is the softer lead which is designer friendly
and very handy to rotate in any direction to achieve desirable results in all
the initial and final stages. It is a combination of mind; hands and baby
pencil which cannot be altered and replaced by any designer’s tool.
“Nobody can reject the baby
pencil because it is simply dear to all and no designer’s soul can survive
without the baby pencil”.
In my 50 years [2011] of experience with baby pencil, it has become the
blood flowing in my veins which doesn’t require ignition. It happens
spontaneously when needed. That is why I am able to visualize roses on plant
standing still, roses flying; rose walking in any style and gestures of the
above said act which is possible if you know how to control the baby pencil in
your blood.
“Remember whenever you are using
the baby pencil as a fresh learner, don’t make it friendly to the eraser. One
should erase before the baby pencil acts from the mind. Such particular
creativity, certainly will built the confidence for a learner’s growth”.
The baby pencil creates miracles like translucence happening through so
many concept walls. Once the fresh learner quickly achieves the transparency of
baby pencil they can frame their every single attempt as a final outcome.
There is not much left to say after writing and telling the stories as
mentioned above whether it is good, very good or going to be much better if
someone carry on using baby pencil in any art profession.
Don’t believe what I have written, please try it by yourself and feel
good and better after achieving your desirable act through versatile baby
pencil, then believe.
Remember, you cannot discard your friendly baby pencil to its wants and
cozy shelter to perform as needed, that will make you understand the importance
of other human beings in liking.
Learn how to praise every single stroke of the baby pencil, be it light
or very light, dark or very dark or may be fragile or minute. If you praise
every single act of the baby pencil as mentioned above you can conquer the
world form your soul while creating masterpieces of art which can be Fashion
Illustration, Textile Prints and Jewellery or Fine Art.
Today, various manufacturers have developed baby pencil in different
leads, colours and in water soluble form as well. Hence, they have added more
flavour and utility of the baby pencil to utilize by the designer’s soul in
their appropriate creative act. At GIFT we mostly use Staedtler, Kohinoor,
Faber Castle, Derwent or sometimes Camlin in the classroom to make the fresh
learner friendly for the above said learning.
I don’t think that I need to write about volume, depth and dimensions of
art in designing because it is readable from any picture plates. I just need to
say that, try today and become a master without fear. If you give up your try
and after sixteen years you are again tempted for trying it and succeed, then
you will be regret, why wasted many years!! But if you have lost the sixteen
years without trying then you are behind so many eras. So what I really want to
convey is that learn and act with single adoration as mentioned above then you
will find you relaxed and calm.
Baby pencil is not just a piece of tool, it totally gives you peace of
mind and it will multiply its goodness every time you act fearlessly and
carefully with the baby pencil.
Baby pencil is my tool but I cannot claim it, it can be yours too. Make
it your friend and remember GIFT for the above mentioned said things and convey
to others. That is my heartiest wish.
All my activities are transparent and whoever likes it will surely be
benefited, that is why I am collecting penny to penny to built GIFT website and
Google Blogs so powerful for all universal fresh learners. This is my mission
and your mission should be, to get benefited in the name of God Almighty for
the entire designer’s soul.
