<span title="Edited"><br />Our
favourite time of the year is here :D Diwali dinners and parties have
begun. And festivities always call for bright colours and vintage
jewelry. I chose to wear this yellow kurta paired with this Pure Ghee
brocade sling. It's actually a smartphone sling which doubles up as a
potli to keep your essentials. The dainty silk flowers add the festive
touch while keeping me hands free. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span title="Edited">If a saree is too much of a hassle for you,
pick out a lovely versatile kurta. I wore this Ajrakh kurta with a
crinkled skirt to add to the festive vibe and give the salwars a break. I
completed the look with a Pure Ghee gold gajra, my go-to accessory, and
a one of a kind patch work clutch, again from Pure Ghee. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Nothing beats the beauty of a traditional Indian handwork. If
you're not one for heavy suits and sarees, pick out a simple embroidered
piece. I wore this beautiful white Kurta with traditional Kashmiri
tilla embroidery paired with a bright pink salwar. No more dressing up
required ! Just my favourite gold Pure Ghee gajra and gajra potli and
simple gold earrings. And like they say, simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication. Find a similar Pure Ghee Potli <a href="https://www.puregheedesigns.com/collections/gajra-potli/products/brocade-gajra-potli-gold-lines">here</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span title="Edited">The red and black combination is classic. It's
perfect for these nippy festive nights. I wore this red kurta with
delicate ari embroidery paired with a kutchi black bandhani dupatta I
bought when I was a student at NID. The look is completed with a
polka-dotted gajra potli and a string of gold gajra in my hair, both
from Pure Ghee. Combining different handwork techniques creates
beautiful textures and a rich feel. Find a similar Pure Ghee Potli <a href="https://www.puregheedesigns.com/collections/gajra-potli/products/mashru-gajra-potli-black-dots">here</a></span></div>

<span>This green mashru silk kurta is perfect for how unpredictable
the weather has become now. And while it's simple, the color is so
beautiful and festive. I'm going to pair this with a yellow and ivory
Benarasi dupatta and glam it up with a fucshia Pure Ghee Potli and a
string of Pure Ghee ivory gajra. Let's not be matchy matchy! Let's have
fun with colours!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span title="Edited">A bright kurta with the right accessories can
do the magic. A fuschia silk kurta paired with this happy Pure Ghee
stole is going to be my pick for those easy-breezy Diwali get-togethers.
The bright yellow Chanderi scarf is going to keep me hands-free without
all the dupatta drama and the tassels will add that bohemian touch.
Will finish the look with our limited edition, statement phulwari
clutch. Find this clutch online <a href="https://www.puregheedesigns.com/collections/phulvari-clutch">here</a></span></div>

Gujarat
is home to some brilliant weaves. One among this state’s textile
offerings is the beautiful Mashru. It is believed this weave stemmed out
of the rule of Muslim men not being allowed to wear silk. Mashru is
made by interlacing silk and cotton yarns. Each silk yarn, which is used
as the warp goes under one and above at least 5-8 or more cotton yarns
thus making cotton the underside of the fabric and the top a shiny silk.
Since the silk doesn’t touch the skin, the men were allowed to wear it.
Mashru in Arabic means permitted and hence the name.<br />

functional yet chic bucket bags. Travel like the nomads of Kutch may ☺<br />

everyone’s top pick when it comes to festive wear. While weaving
regular cloth involves a weft holding the warp threads together, Brocade
has a supplementary weft along with the standard one to give that
ornate look. That extra weft makes it look like the cloth is embroidered
when it actually isn’t. Brocade is made on a draw loom with perforated
cards that guide the design. And with the perfect hand-leg coordination
on the loom you get an exquisite, elegant brocade. </span></div>

those Ikat pieces you own, for there is a lot of hard work involved.
What distinguishes Ikat is the dyeing of patterns with an elaborate
resist dyeing process before the weaving is done. Bundles of warp
threads are put on a frame following which, bindings to resist dye
penetration are put on parts of the thread that form the motif. The
threads are then carefully taken off, dyed, bindings taken off and then
reframed. The process continues till you have the desired pattern and
the threads are then put on a loom to weave. And that’s how you get an
Ikat piece bathed in colorful patterns. <br />India has great diversity of
Ikat weaving and the best comes from Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and
Orissa. </span></div>

I spent the last week at Asian Heritage foundation conductng a Jugalbandi workshop on making rag dolls. It was organised by Jiyo an intiative of AHF for the world bank</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Jugalbandi <span class="tgc"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">is a performance in
Indian classical music, especially the Hindustani classical music, that
features a duet of two solo musicians. The word <b>jugalbandi</b> means,
literally, "entwined twins."</span></span></div>

The aim of the workshop was to to bring together
craftspeople from different disciplines and get them to share their skills and
learn from each other. This is the reason it was called a “Jugalbandi”
workshop.</div>

The area of product development was doll making from waste

how to find common ground and what to make. As a warm up we started with

Fatima Bibi is a 56 year old<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>woman who lives with her family of 7 in Ayanagar village. Her husband
works as daily wage laborer and has no fixed income. She<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and her two elder daughters run the
household. She came to work at Pure Ghee about two years ago as a seamstress.
Over time she has mastered the art of making our unique Crazy Katran fabric.
Intially she was reluctant to do this work as it seemed complicated and took
longer than regular sewing. The word has got around and women from the village
are eager to learn this new technique. Fatima now teaches women who come
seeking work .</div>

We are obsessive about upcycling. The smallest bits of
waste fabric generated in our studio. At the end of the day the selvedges and

shredded into smaller pieces. The chaos of colourful bits thus created
are then carefully quilted to create an crazy colourful surface with a raw
unusual texture. </div>

The fabric thus created is called “Crazy Katran”. Crazy for

Scraps of colourful cloth left over from making bags are
recycled to create multi colored patchwork pieces. The process of collecting,
sorting and patching the cloth is long and time consuming. But it all seems
worth the effort when you see the result. A complex multi coloured piece of
textile that is one-of- a- kind. Each up cycled piece is like a painting that
cannot be replicated.</div>

Its the time of the year when everyone is making travel
plans and so I share my favourite travel accessory – the Pure Ghee pouch set. Like
most women I know, I always had many many small pouches for keeping different
things like cosmetics, toiletries, paper bills, digital camera, jewelry in my
bag. But whenever I would pack to travel I would invariable miss one little
pouch or the other. You know the feeling when you desperately want that meftal
spas and you forgot to carry your medicine pouch or the irritation when you realize you forgot your mini vial of moisturizer you so need on long flights!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This prompted me to design a set of pouches that stay
together so you don’t forget anything. I also wanted the user to have the
option of carrying fewer things if she wanted to. And slowly the pouch set evolved. Our current version has three
pouches with holes in them and they are held together with a charm embellished dog hook.
You can carry them all together or unhook them and use them separately. And use
the hook as a key hook. I did make some use of my class at NID on modular design!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tell us what you would carry in these three pouches and if we like your response we will send you one to try for yourself! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The pouch set also works as a great bag organizer when you
are not traveling and makes for a lovely gift too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Size of each pouch: 7”X 5.5”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

One that I can carry everyday to my clinic. And make it in bright blue, I

pediatrician by profession.</div>

<br />
There are many times during the day when you dont want to carry a lot.<br />
The wristlets are designed to carry your essentials anywhere you go. <br />
Carry your mobile phone, money, cards, lipper and keys for the office lunch or when you walk out for some grocery shopping. (this little wristlet can take in a lot)<br />
The handle built into the design makes it easy to carry keeping you hands free.<br />
You can also use it to organizing stuff in the bag. Get them in all colors and use one to store your camera, one for make up, one for random notes.<br />
Sure to bring a smile on every time you pick it out of your bag.<br />

At Pure Ghee we love creating products that are fun and functional. A change pouch is something we were meaning to add to our new range of products. We know a women's bag carries a mini universe inside it! And we love to help keep it organised so we added added a key ring to the pouch. Now your keys and change are together and easy to find in your bag.<br />
We have always been partial to Fuschia and Red in our colour pallette and it tied in well with the heart shape.<br />
Handmade from blended silk the pouch is washable.<br />
<br />
Dil se Dil pouch - our way of showing our love towards our customers. <br />
<br />
Happy Valentines. Spread the love.<br />

The Windmill Design Festival was held at Windmill Studio, Ayanagar <span style="font-family: Cambria;">on 2-3 February 2013</span>. It was an endeavour to connect creative communities that shared a common ethos. Much fun was had but i also learnt a few things. I thought i must share it with my readers. So here they are.<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Mix work and pleasure its always a great concoction.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Its not just about selling your products. Goodwill is as important as sales if you want to build a great business.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Support other small businesses. It helps you grow too.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Always have a cafe that serves some great cakes made by Paki Bhatia, fresh sandwiches and french press coffee.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Don't ignore the little ones, get <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bhavna.bhat1" target="_blank">Bhavna Bhat</a> to organise a story telling workshop.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">A performance by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/redmawkin" target="_blank">Parvati and Mawkin</a> can get people tapping their feet and create a warm fuzzy atmosphere.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Get your husband to make a 2 min promotional film on the event!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Create a festival mascot from waste material so kiddies can click pictures with it!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">If work can be so much fun make sure you do more of it!</span></li>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mlBzuvEdYU4/UMHPlTq_aGI/AAAAAAAAEpA/vEsCKxep0bw/s1600/VARAQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mlBzuvEdYU4/UMHPlTq_aGI/AAAAAAAAEpA/vEsCKxep0bw/s400/VARAQ.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I am very excited to share with you a sneak peak of our new collection VARAQ.<br />
<br />
<div class="gmail_quote">
<div>
The idea for this collection came about
when a friend brought me some home made <i>phirni </i>(a traditional sweet dish in North India). She set the hand
pounded sweet rice dish in an earthen pot and dressed it with chopped almonds
and a sheet of silver foil/VARAQ.<br />
VARAQ is a thin edible foil, made from beating gold and silver for a long
duration. Most Indian sweets are decorated with Varaq.<br />
On my many jaunts to the cloth market i was drawn to the metallic luster of the
gold and silver fabric that looks like it is gilded.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pure Ghee presents perfect party pieces for the festive season.<br />
