Inspiration
The tall tree stood strong, swelling in pride and aristocratic gait. From somewhere came this lissome lass with her crimson hair. She was not a girl who would submit. She needed no looking after. She was the Krishnachura. She wasn’t drawn to the pride of her suitors; she sought no shade under them but could care by herself for a hundred weary travelers. In her captivating smile, cascading tresses and flaring orange garb she stood her own.
The floral motifs are of the Krishnachura/Gulmohar flowers. This colorful, flame orange and red flowers look like forest flames and the imposing beauty never fails to grab attention. It is a gorgeous summer bloom. Krishnachura flowers against a dark mint green back drop will take you down the memory lane.

Description
Fabric:
The prints bloom in an altogether artistic appeal on the pure organic cotton (100% cotton), grown in India. Organic cotton is regular cotton that is grown organically without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides aside from the ones allowed by the certified organic labeling. The drape is light and comfortable. This cotton hugs you softly. It might benefit from starching after 4-5 wears but starching is not necessary at all.
Printing:
The motifs are screen printed on the fabric. 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.
