Description

Tree of life is a symbol of life on earth in Machilipatnam style kalamkari art form. In this artwork the tree of life showcases enchanted peacock, flowers, leaves and creepers in silver on a vibrant hot pink background.
Kalamkari is a 3000 BC ancient indian artwork in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Only natural dyes are used in Kalamkari, which involves twenty-three steps.There are two distinctive styles of Kalamkari art in India – Srikalahasti style and the Machilipatnam style. This is a Machilipatnam style kalamkari . It mainly uses vegetable dyes which are applied onto the fabric with the help of wooden blocks. Alum is used in making natural dyes and also while treating the fabric. Alum ensures the stability of the color in Kalamkari fabric.
In Srikalahasti style kalamkari to create design contours, artists use a bamboo or date palm stick pointed at one end with a bundle of fine hair attached to this pointed end to serve as the brush or pen.This pen is soaked in a mixture of jaggery and water; one by one these are applied, then the vegetable dyes are added.
