Prints by Motif & Paisley
Traditional hand block prints are a timeless art form that showcases decorative floral patterns known as Buta and Buti. Buta refers to larger motifs, while Buti refers to smaller ones. These prints also feature Bel (Creepers) and Jaal (floral nets) motifs, which set them apart from other block printings.
The designs of these motifs consist of flora and fauna, represented in their natural forms. For example, the lotus motif is known as Kamal Buti, the mango motif is known as Keri Buti, and the peacock motif is known as Mor Buti, to name a few.
Hand block printing is a labor-intensive process that requires skilled artisans to carve intricate designs onto wooden blocks. These blocks are then dipped in natural dyes and stamped onto fabric, creating beautiful and unique patterns.
One of the distinguishing features of hand block prints is the imperfections and inconsistencies in the patterns and colors. These variations are the hallmark of handmade and printed products, adding to their charm and uniqueness.
