Veggie Dye Block Print Cotton Table Placemat 19" x 13" Red
VEGETABLE DYED PLACEMAT ~ Authentic veggie dyed and hand block printed placemat. Lovely floral pattern in shades of brick red, blue and gold on mauvish background. Very primitive appeal with drops of misplaced dye or smudges from the artists hands as he pressed his blocks to the fabric, forever leaving his trace. It does not get any closer to "handcraft" than this. Please note that print and dye imperfections are not to be considered defects but rather primitive characteristics associated to the art of hand block printing. Made of 100% cotton and measures approximately 19 x 13 inches. They are color fast and can be machine washed separately on cool/gentle and tumble dried. Hand block printing on textiles refers to the technique by which carved wooden blocks dipped in dye are hand pressed along a length of cloth to create a repeated pattern. It is the oldest and slowest form of textile printing known to man. The block print designs created centuries ago remain ever popular through out many cultures around the world today. Many of our napkins have matching napkins and tablecloths that can be purchased individually. You will love the unique quality of this authentic vegetable dye block print placemat. Can be used for:
FORMAL DINING ~ CASUAL DINING ~ RESTAURANTS ~ SPECIAL OCCASIONS
