Crafting with Colour A Video Conversation with Karthik Print.Able is happy to introduce Karthik who is being interviewed in this post. The interview is in Kannada, and we include a short clip from the video at the end of this post. The video opens with a scene of Karthik at a table covered in newspaper covered in various colourful painted objects – diyas, statues of Ganesha, a candle holder. He is painting a diya. You can tell that he is concentrating very hard on his task, holding the small clay lamp with care, and turning it as he paints. The interviewers first question (not heard) is ‘What are you doing?’ We share the clip from this point to when he talks about the colours he likes. The conversation in the video has been transcribed to English text, and is appended below.   It closes with the interviewer asking what he likes to paint, other than the diyas, and our eye is drawn back to the range of colourful, carefully painted objects on the table.  The Interview...

Art Gallery features Smita and Nandita The cross stitch embroidery displayed here is done by Smita and Nandita. They like doing this. Here it is done on plastic mats. They also do this on matty fabric.  The articles Smita and Nandita create may be used as napkins and tablecloths and more. The love of colour that Nandita showed in her photography is also evident in the combined work of Smita and Nandita. See a sample of Nandita's flower photography on Print.Able .
