HOW IT'S MADE This set of four coasters has been beautifully hand painted by patachitra artisans of Odisha using natural and mineral colors. Pattachitra art form is known for its intricate details characterised by mythological narratives and folktales. The tradition of pattachitra paintings is more than a thousand years old. The name Pattachitra has evolved from the Sanskrit words patta, meaning canvas, and chitra, meaning picture. All colours used are natural. Preparing the paints is perhaps the most important part of the creation of Pattachitra, engaging the craftsmanship of the chitrakars in using naturally available raw materials to bring about indigenous paints. The gum of the kaitha tree is the chief ingredient, and is used as a base for making different pigments. Powdered conch shells, for instance, are used for making a white pigment, while lamp soot is used for a black pigment. The root of the keya plant is usually used for making the common brush, while mouse hair is used on the requirement of finer brushes, to be attached to wooden handles.   Handpainted Folk Art Wooden Coasters are a unique and beautiful addition to any home decor. These coasters are made with natural wood and feature hand-painted folk art designs that showcase the artistic talent of the artisan. The set comes with multiple coasters, each designed to be the same size and shape, ensuring a uniform look. The square shape of the coasters adds a touch of modernity to their appearance, while the hand-painted designs provide a traditional and rustic aesthetic. In addition to their stylish appearance, the coasters are also practical. The wooden surface provides a durable and easy-to-clean surface for cups and glasses, while the protective backing helps to prevent scratches on furniture and surfaces. This provides a stable surface for your drinks, ensuring that they stay in place. The set is versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, such as in a living room, kitchen, or outdoor patio. They also make for a great housewarming or wedding gift, as they are both practical and unique. The fact that the coasters are hand-painted means that each piece is unique and showcases the artistic talent of the artisan. No two coasters will be exactly alike, giving the set a one-of-a-kind look. In conclusion, Handpainted Folk Art Wooden Coasters are a perfect addition to any home decor. They are practical, stylish, and unique, making them an excellent choice for anyone who wants to add a touch of traditional and rustic aesthetic to their home.
