if there’s one crafts fair to wait for in bean town, it’s dastakar. sigh.. truly a craft-lover’s delight. here are my finds this year…
hand painted ceramic and metal hooks for my coffee/chai mugs.
A painted bottle. it does look like the painting’s been done on paper and then stuck on. either way, it’s beautiful!
Madhubani on papier mache. she looks like a slightly worried Ms.Champa to me…
Loved the brightly attired lady with the pot, doesn’t have a name yet…
jute and cotton basket, karnataka
stole from kashmir and slippers with mirror work from gujarat 🙂
and finally, the tree of life. applique curtain
A fleeting glimpse 
I just realized I’ve spent half an hr browsing through your entire blog. I’m hooked! Envy you that you get to visit dastakar, sitting here in america all I can do is sigh 😦
Divya, am so glad you visited :)! And took time off to comment, made my day! Truly, Dastakar is a craft lover’s paradise! You should plan to visit India in dec. There are so many lovely craft fairs here at that time.
