Definite aim to create and spread the discrete art thats evident in the Kalamkari and only kalamkari ...an art thats established no where else but in India...started spreading wings and crazy overseas ... love affair with Kalamkari that has just began and wishing to stay together years and dont wanna be apart.. What makes Kalamkari unique is the complex process of creating it, which involves 23 st
eps in all. "The first stage is removal of starch, after which the cloth is dipped in a solution of cow milk and karakai (a variety of fruit) powder. Then the artisan draws a sketch on the dried cloth using a tamarind twig, followed by the black outlining that is done with kasimikaram, which is a blend of iron rust and jaggery left to ferment for 24 days. The vegetable dyes are then used to fill in the colour and the cloth is treated with hot and cold water at the subsequent stages,"
