Plants in Himalayan arts & craftsPosted by: Admin Pragya |
|
The plants of the Western Himalayan region have been used, either directly or indirectly, in the arts and crafts of the region. In the case of grass mats, this use has been direct; while in the making of other woven crafts of the region wool, plants and plant derivatives have been indirectly used, for instance, in the wooden looms on which these crafts are woven and the vegetable dyes obtained from leaves, roots and flowers of different plants are used to make these crafts look bright and attractive. |

Skillful artisans come up with many ways of using trees. There is a lot to learn from them. They know how to use every inch of the tree. Needs a little polishing to sale in market. | |
