Inspiration for Starry Nights: ... [ read more With its
wondrous canopy of stars, the awe inspiring grandeur of the night sky
has inspired poets, philosophers, and dreamers for centuries. Replete
with moonlit indigo hued star-studded skies, the Starry Nights design
is our attempt to capture the majestic beauty of the night skies. The
border, with its dreamy floating cloud symbolism further enhances the
night sky imagery. The Starry Nights range of furnishings is printed
using only natural indigo dyes and employs the extremely laborious
"Double Dabu" resist printing technique.Dabu Printing : In this the wood blocks are used to apply the
resist (unlike in traditional block printing where wood blocks are
used to apply the dye); usually a paste of mud, gum and sawdust, to
the fabric. The fabric is then dyed by immersing the sun dried mud
printed cloth in a cauldron of dye. This process is repeated for every
color in the design. The term "double" or "triple" dabu indicates the
number of times the fabric is thus processed. Finally the mud resist
is washed off to reveal the design. Typically some dye penetrates
under the resist and results in the characteristic "veining" usually
associated with resist printed Batiks.
