Peacock ! A designer`s eternal delight ! Part 3
From the painters palette !
Traditional folk motifs , so revered among the craft artisans of India too have found the peacock motif to be an endless source of inspiration .
Here are two of my favourite works of art ,
a dupatta that I picked up from Daram store in Hyderabad .
The intricate border has been meticulously painted by a Madhubani artist , and the fine lines of perfection fill me with a sense of amazement , for the artist who has labouriously toile over it !
The second one is a beautiful tablecloth that I had picked up years ago from Shilparamam ,Madhapur in Hyderabad. What drew me to this stall was the beautiful and vibrant colours used by the artist. I still remember vividly , the craftsman from Gond proudly proclaiming that I would find it difficult to find a beautiful piece such as this again . ( How true , since I never again found a stall selling these paintings made on home-linen again in Shilparamam )
