Explanation:
Bead work of India
Ranging from hand-carved wooden beads to tiny glass seed ones, the traditional beads found in India cover a wide range of styles, materials and treatment processes. The bead art in India dates back to Indus valley civilization and is said to be 5000 years old. People during that age made beads out of silver, gold, clay, ivory and even wood. India is one of the largest bead producers in the world. The beads made in Varanasi are exported in huge quantities throughout the world. The glass beads used today were not found in India until 1700 and were available only in the kingdom of Saurashtra (now southern Gujarat state). With new sets of tools in the modern industry, the artisans have not failed to create newer types of beads with vast colors and imaginative work.
Bead work in Gujarat
Gujarat is highly famous for its bead work. The artisans in Gujarat are specialized in stitching different types of beads on clothes to make it more beautiful and enhance their appeal. The rows of beads are swirled to form geometrical and floral shapes. All these beads are stitched over the clothes with a vibrant energy. The artisans also turn and convert the beads into fabrics by themselves. This kind of work takes a lot of time, skill and energy. These beads can be used to make bags and other articles because they are very firmly and closely stitched together. The stitching is so strong that there is no need of any kind of textile to hold it together.
Enamel work in india
In India enamel work is labelled as an exquisite handicraft. Three forms of enamelling are followed. Firstly the enamel is applied to the metal; secondly, transparent enamels are laid over a design which has been carved on and third is the decorative coating applied to inlay or outlay. The first two are comparatively modern methods. The third one is very ancient and it has two is known under two varieties - the cloisonne and the champleve In the cloissone a pattern is raised on the surface of the metal through strips of metal or wire which is welded on to it. The champleve is a cut out of the metal itself. In both of them the pattern is filled in with the enamel. In a true enamel work the colouring glaze needs to be fused on to the metal. The Jaipur enamelling is of the champleve pattern. A round plate among the Prince of Wales` Indian presents is the best specimen of enamel work. It took four years to be made. It is in itself a monument of the Indian enamel art. Another notable example is the beautiful covered cup and saucer and spoon that belonged to Lady Mayo.
