MargaretYickDesign: January 2015

Time is Countless .. from a far distance, a journey to Madras and now named Chennai. Hot, humide and full of things to discover. My most beautiful day time is visiting many temples, and beaches.
When I was in chennai, I asked some indian friends about getting someone to do my website. A website that has to be black and white with my logo design on it. Finally I got someone from facebook, and I had visited his office. After 2nd time meeting my agreement must be done it simple with music on it. The design products is never comes in many pieces. In general is limited edition. The music is original and it might be changing after few months. www.cocotian.com website is made in Chennai by Kg Tech company.

It was nice to have this loving colorful kissing birds. I named them Chai Chai and Nai Nai. In the day their cage is outside in the balcony facing the garden. They normal have 2 fresh shower around 9am and later afternoon 4pm. In the morning, they loves to sing, and in the day they liked to hear music. At night they their cage stayed in the kitchen. When I on the tap water, they started to talk.

They loves to kiss and make noise after shower.

I trainned them to eat curry leaves and roti pata, beside the seeds.

In the day visiting many textiles shops, fancy shop, and late afternoon back home doing my drawing.

Its fantastic to have a driver, at least he can communicates in english.

He is a fantastic good driver, and always carried my things. He scared that I go home alone. So, I trained him how to hold a pair of chop-sticks, and taste some chinese foods.

Knowing Chennai is a tamil nadu country. It is fantastic seeing so many beautiful colors saree. I tried wearing it, but I love more on silk soft textile. In a way it fall nicely to my body. I liked simple way going around me, and it is not the same way like the indian culture.

In this private building, security guards and cleaner very friendly with smiling faces. Everyday when the see me, they started to laughed. Its humour we often makes some good jokes. The ladies saying..if I do not know how to wear saree, they can teach me.

The beautiful and exciting time is when I was invited to visit this Ministry of Textile research development. I met the director and departments officers. I was so happy on this day seeing everything, and I shared my experinced about batik painting, and mould designs. The best part is seeing his weaving the cotton saree textile. Very beautiful deep blue color and gold threads at the border.

I often have to see the tailor and make sure everything run in order. He loves to make jokes at me. And I asked him how to wear like your style. He immediately show me how to put the textile upward. Everyone was laughing. We'll just have a good time laughing. He asked me come and have a meal together. Of course, but I just send packages of foods to them.

My research artwork for textile design. And spend alot of time doing bracelet designs.

Its a tshirt designed and I cut into many pieces, to transform another style with bracelet design.

I was saying.. Black cotton with Golden color is very beautiful. Testing the products in Chennai. The cotton is very soft and smooth. Very easy to maintain. My artwork for 2015

This is the black cotton textile with golden paint designed and made by me. How I wear it, its simple. There is no button but clip on it.

One of beautiful Precious stones design, made in Jaipur.

Madras foods is very spicy, I ate almost everyday. The curry is not the same in france, and what is nice I can even gets all kind of curry powders, seeds, leaves and etc..

Walked on the street alone and saw boys doing the painting on the hands. So, I told him where to put it, and not too much. Its really not expensive, worth trying it.

Driver saying he is timide to enter such restaurant, but finally he learned how to taste chinese foods and holding a pair of chop-sticks. He went back to office and told his friends that, he had tasted all kind of chinese or thai foods. He had a wonderful time with madame.
