CRAFTS OF INDIA / SCREEN PRINTING / UNNATI SILKS

Unnati Silks has experimented a lot with screen printing and the results have been more than gratifying. The specialty of the screen printed sarees is evident in many a range from a whole host of saree varieties. The colors are vibrant, the effect is marvellous, be it a floral scape, an image spread on the pallav or end piece, or an array of imaginative figures and shapes. The color choice has been judicious and the effects most gratifying, vouchsafed by an enthusiastic response from the market. Some experiments include Kalamkari on Jute cotton with a floral landscape and a designer pallav, sensational peacock imagery filling the pallav of a creamish Jute cotton saree with lightly distributed motifs and a classy contrast border, a lovely match and mix of a kalamkari scape with eye-catching mango bootis and a magenta pink Bhagalpuri soft silk with flowers all along the light blue border and a pallav with striking elephant imagery.

Salwar suits are good canvas for screen prints, seen in the light colored designer kameez and sharp contrasting color plain salwars and designer dupattas of the Kota doria silk range. Brilliant colors, lovely innovative designs on the kameez, a plain salwar and a colorful dupatta to match sets the tone for a nice salwar suit with excellent print quality. Plenty of variety, lots of designs, lovely combinations of color make the exploring fun and exciting.
