Kalamkari Dupattas

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

I’m sharing images of few of my cotton and chiffon kalamkari dupattas. I love kalamkari, a unique Indian art of hand-painting of intricate designs on fabrics using eco-friendly, natural, vegetable dyes and gums. This art is ancient and has its roots at Machilipatnam and Kalahasti, Andhra Pradesh.
