Fabrics - Daboo Prints |
| Dabu
is a mud-resist hand-block printing, the process of which
starts with the preparation of clay known as mud resist
or dhabu. The design is sketched onto the setting cloth,
enclosed in the unique clay with the aid of wooden blocks. |
| Thereafter
the saw dust is sprinkled, which glues to the cloth as
the clay dries. Later, the cloth is equipped to be dyed
in the selected colors. The designs enclosed by the Dabu
remain neutral and once the dyeing process is finished,
the cloth is dried and then washed to get rid of the clay
mixture. |
| For
additional color, this cloth is dyed again in a lighter
shade to cover the patterned area. The prints have a sublime
quality and appearance. In making of the printed fabrics,
a lot of manual process and hard work is involved and
the process of uses lots of natural dyes and vegetable
pastes. |
