Kalamkari print is a medieval handicraft that came to India from the middle east. Somehow this fantastic craftmanship has survived and we can enjoy the sense of knowing that this fabric is truly made by hand.
First they put the fabric in a bucket with cow dung for three days to bleach.

They wash it carefuly.
Then they wash the fabric in swiftly-flowing water. 
The fabric dryes in the grass.
They print one colour at the time, wash the fabric in the water and dry it in the grass. Same procedure between every colour printing.

Printing moulds.
All colours are ecofriendly, gathered in the nature.
Finally they boil the fabric in a huge cannibal pot so the fabric will be shrink- and colorproof. Each pcs of 10 meter fabric takes about one month to make. As long as it's not rainy and windy.
