She gazed starry-eyed at the little pieces of heaven descending to the ground in a delicate dance. It was her first snow ever and she became a child all over again. As she danced around, played and made snow-angels, she felt time freeze. And, when she finally left home, the messy ice looked like a piece of art that she had created in utter joy!
This striking Batik Mulberry silk saree in black and beige is a head-turner!
The ancient craft of wax-resist dyeing called Batik adds a timeless charm to this saree. Wax-resist dyeing has been a part of so many ancient civilisations across the world and can be uniquely characterised by the local motifs and designs used. Specifically in India, Batik is said to have over 2000 years of history. Materials such as wax or rice starch was used to create the resistance to dye and thus create the Batik designs. The entire process involves various steps such as drawing the basic pattern, redrawing using wax and then applying the dye.Then, the wax is removed after the fabric dries. This is done multiple times to create various patterns with different colours.The process of dyeing is something that has been passed down by generations of artisans and the stunning designs created by these master craftsmen are timeless.
This saree has Batik work on handloom mulberry silk fabric. Silk exudes a regality that very few other fabrics can match. The brilliant shine that vibrates from a silk saree spells class and traditional beauty. The process of producing silk involves multiple stages such as extracting silk threads from the cocoons of silk-worms, twisting multiple silk threads to make strong threads and weaving the threads on handlooms. The silk worms are made to feed mainly on Mulberry trees for high-quality silk. India is one of the top producers of silk in the world and the fabric is always in demand for its visual attractiveness. People associate silk with special occasions and richness. Silk is alluring and can boast of a grand appeal as well as a tinge of nostalgia. On the whole, silk is a fabric that can never go wrong. So, whether you are all set for a night of glamour or you want to turn on your traditional charm, silk can be just the thing you are looking for!
