This unique piece of art takes me back to one of our artisan whom i worked with when i started my journey in the eastern part of Kutch in Bachahau in 2001 post earthquake.
I still recollect no one else in the Ambliyara(village name) would pick up galicha design.(local names are given by artisans in order to identify the designs only hansa ben would do this she enjoyed working white backgrounds & pastel colours similarly like you ....its amazing to get reconnected to them again with your wonderful crochet .....
Hi, I’m Diti, documentary and travel photographer, graphic designer, cat lover and collector of knick-knacks!
I love to travel and I love to live in India.
But this is not a blog about India so much as it is about documenting a reality.
One trivial photograph at a time; one insignificant day at a time.
And through each day I aspire to tell a meaningful story, a story of truth.
After all it is these very same insignificant days of life that indeed shape it and make it a whole.
i was just thinking about your blog last night. and now there's an update. yay!
