A Contemporary Hand Dyed Indian Cotton Square #2: People Tree

contemporary
25" x 24", 63.5 cm x 61

This is a square of lightweight cotton that was designed by the innovative  textile design studio based in New Delhi, India, called People Tree.  

People Tree's textile designs draw on traditional Indian dyeing techniques often using mud-resist or block print, but their original designs,which spring from conventional methods, always show startling innovation and are often eccentric in nature.

This square of cloth is machine finished and appears to be dyed in natural indigo and perhaps madder.  It also appears to be made from a traditional block printing technique, the combination of off-register red dots against a filed of patterned blue is just charming and inventive.

Wonderful.
