An intimacy with nature is nurtured by quietude and solitude in her arms. Nature pulsates with life, mirth, joy and often rage and revolt.

Description
Fabric:
The fabric is a blend of linen and tissue giving it a metallic sheen.It comes with a woven silver border.
Printing:
The prints are inspired my Kalamkari prints. Kalamkari is one of the oldest printing style and technique of India, from Andhra Pradesh.
Screen printing is a method in which ink is applied directly to the surface to be printed (substrate). The image to be printed is photographically transferred to a very fine fabric (the screen) such that the non-printing areas are blocked off and the fabric serves as a stencil. The ink is wiped across the screen to pass through the unblocked pores and reach the substrate. For each color to be printed a separate screen is prepared and the process is repeated. It is tedious and painstakingly done by hand.
