Wooden Hand Blocks are blocks of wood with holding grips on one side and a flat smooth surface or pressing side with design engraved on it on the other.

Designs engraved are transferred to the fabric by filling colours in the etched cavities and giving a sharp hit to the pressed block on the cloth.

From the entire quantity of cotton cloth desired sizes for colouring are cut. This is based on the nature of the fabric; saree, bedspread, dupatta or whatever, according to the individual measurements provided and in the numbers specified.

 The two-fold process of dyeing and block printing then begins. The fabric is pre-washed and soaked for several hours together to allow for dirt, oil and other contaminants to separate out.

The smearing of the fabric or cloth to be dyed, is with Fuller’s Earth, brought from the riverside.

 It is then dipped in turmeric water. Fuller’s Earth washed away imparts a creamish colour to the fabric.

 Then it is soaked in the solution of Harda or fruit of the myrobalan plant and dried in the sun which gives it a yellowish cream hue.

 This is a unique feature of Bagru Prints and the process is instrumental for the colour fastness of the Print dyes that would be applied.

The fabric is then printed with natural dyes or colorants which are derived from plants and animals. Different blocks with different colours are used for the different parts of the overall design.

Since a majority of the natural dyes are from plants, Bagru Prints are also referred to as ‘eco-friendly’ prints.

The primary colours are available from the following substances. Blue is available from Indigo, with desired shade got from increasing the concentration or diluting it. Green is available through indigo mixed with pomegranate.

 Red is through the Madder Root, while yellow is from turmeric. After the fabric is completely block printed it is dried and later put in vats of boiling water containing alum and other agents.

The solution with fabric in it is constantly stirred to prevent sticking to any portion of the vessel. 

The process is complete with the fabric being washed again to remove excess colour and any other sticking impurities.

Hand Block Printing using natural colours is done mostly on fabrics such as sarees, quilts, bed covers, though pillow covers, turbans and other smaller items of cloth are also taken up. Themes are generally floral prints, geometrical shapes etc.

Bagru prints are done on off-white, ivory white or beige background sarees. Motifs of circular designs, flowers, fruits, birds create allure on fabrics like crepe, georgette, chiffon, silk, cotton.

Exotic Bagru prints are quite popular on south handloom cotton sarees woven with zari borders.

Practised mostly in Rajasthan, it has churned out extraordinary fabrics of brilliant colours and mind-blowing designs that have left modern pundits dumbstruck.

Hnadloom Sarees

Dabu printing is a unique art form. This mud-resist hand-block printing is practiced mostly in the state of Rajasthan, India.

Dabu Prints

 Cotton is received in large bundles for dyeing and printing. Based on the order, the bundles are opened out and different sizes are measured and cut based on the fabric.

Indigo Color

 Sarees would have 7 metres, dupattas 2.5 metres and so on. Each fabric is pre-washed and soaked for about 24 hours to remove starch, oil, dust, or any other contaminants which could prevent proper dyeing and printing. Then the fabric is block printed with dabu, and laid to dry in the sun.

pure  handloom cotton

Once the mud is dry, the fabric is immersed in a dye, and again laid to dry in the sun. 

The process could sometimes be repeated for repeated dabu printing on top of the dyed fabric to create further layers of resist and again dye it in darker shades of the dye.

 Finally the fabric is washed to remove all traces of the dabu mud, revealing the resist area to be the original colour. The fabric is again dried in the sun and is ready to be packaged and sold.

Dabu printed cotton sareesundergo a rigorous process that involves a lot of not so easily available and costly natural dyes and vegetable pastes.

 Printed motifs like boota (corn stalk), surajmukhi or sunflower, animals and geometrical patterns are popular subjects. 

Pure cotton sarees, pure silk sarees, chiffon sarees, crepe silk sarees, sarees and designer supernet sarees are the different fabrics that have good results with Dabu prints.

PURE HANDLOOM COTTON KALAMKARI SAREES FROM ANDHRA PRADESH@UNNATISILKS

Kalamkari is from ‘Kalam’ (pen) and ‘Kari’ (craftsmanship), words taken from the Persian for the art of hand painting done on fabrics with the use of a pen and extended to include hand block printing.

SHOP FOR PURE HANDLOOM KALAMKARI SAREES ON

There are two schools of art that developed Kalamkari initially in India and from individual origins.

Pure Handloom

Srikalahasti style that used the pen for drawing and filling in the colours, and with a strong influence of Hindu culture that specifically focused on religious subjects and scenes from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata in its paintings.

Weaving

The Machilipatnam style that came with an Islamic slant, had subjects of paintings mostly depicting flora and fauna, with floral designs as a backdrop on the fabric.

Trandy Saree

Both styles that have popularised Kalamkari have one thing in common – the depictions are fine and neatly drawn, there is extensive use of organic colours which are fast, there is no dilution in the skill and quality over the years.

pure handloom cotton

Today’s Kalamkari has both these styles merged into one with different facets within the art.

Kalamkari saris showcase the traditional simplicity, elaborate themes, sharp detailing and attractive motifs in a host of bright and pleasing hues. 

Kalamkari comes off beautifully on a whole lot of fabrics like silk, cotton, sico art silks such as georgette, chiffon, Supernet, crepe silk and others. With vegetable dyes being used, colours are fast and long lasting.

 Motifs with trees, creepers, flowers, leaves, birds are popular subjects.

Gloss on the fabric comes from the traditional use of some natural substances such as myrobalan, cow’s milk, cow dung, seeds, plants and crushed flowers in the paintings.

 The etching of lines and applying of colour is done with a finely sharpened short bamboo piece which reflects the devotion and skill of the ethnic craftsmen to bring about such exquisite masterpieces despite the limited resources.

A time-consuming and arduous task, that involves patience and dedication, it is the sharpness of the lines, the fine details and the picturesque outcome that make this ethnic effort worth its while.

Kalamkari pure cotton sarees in the printed variety have block prints featuring floral designs and geometrical patterns arranged in designer fashion.

Modern abstract designs have also been included in recent times to resounding applause from the market.

 

Hand Prints

Ethnic art is like any other art. It is however the toil and the effort in producing these exceptional works of detail and flawlessness despite the limited resources available, that truly give it its value.

There are fine pure Tussar Silk Sarees with multi-colour Kalamkari. where multi-colour borders and thematic representations on the pallu or end piece that go well with the central design.

You have the largely plain or lightly adorned sarees with attractive hand painted bootis all over.

Then you have the veg.dyed sarees in Dupion silk sarees and Supernet sarees that have finely marked lines and accentuate the effect of the pictorial depictions. 

There are other fine offerings in cotton and other fabrics that make the Kalamkari cotton sarees a prized possession.
