WOODEN TOYS FROM ODISHA

Wood carving is a very ancient and traditional art of Odisha. In Jagannath temple of Odisha the idols and other mythological figures are made out of wood. A lot of colorful wooden handmade toys are also made and sold on a daily basis. Wooden toys have evolved from Patta paintings and they reflect the natural heritage, wildlife and mythology of Odisha state. The wooden toys are used for decoration, gifting purposes and recreation for children. The type of wood used by the artisans keeps on varying from place to place depending upon the local availability of the wood. Generally these are made out of one block of wood only.

Many different types of toys are created such as birds, horses, elephants, human figures, etc. which are painted in bright colours to attract the kids. The toys are simple and handy without much craftsmanship. The colors that were used in the past were all natural made out of vegetables and fruits. Preparing the colours itself was an art which took some time to learn. But as time progressed, artisans started using readily available colours as they were easier to obtain. Nowadays the demand for wooden toys has fallen due to the availability of toys in other mediums and also due to alternate avenues of entertainment for children. In today’s world where plastic toys are found everywhere, these toys are a nice throwback and have a natural feel to them.

Lashingphee from the lands of Manipur

Laisingphee is a cotton quilt that is a specialty of Manipur. The word phee or phi means cloth in Manipuri. They are widely used in Manipur during winter because there is no wool available in the area.

Manipur is famous for the Laisingphee woven on loin-loom, which is a kind of back-strap loom used by the hill people. They first prepare the warp with suitable measurements. One end is usually fastened to the wall or to two fixed poles. The other end is tied to the waist of the weaver with a cotton or leather belt. Sometimes the belt is made of woven cane or bamboo.

Laisingphee, however, is different in one respect. Unlike the usual cotton quilt that is stitched, these are woven on a fly shuttle loom for more width or loin loom for small width quilts. They are both warm and soft because the quilting material has an inner lining of cotton, stuffed at regular interval.

The dyes used in the making of these quilts are obtained from natural sources. The juice of wild indigo leaf is used for preparing a dark blue and iron rust for black colors. Barks and leaves of different trees on hills and plains are used for creating solid shades of red, green, yellow and orange.
A black woven Laisingphee with bold animal design was given to the brave and distinguished soldiers as a recognition of their competence. However the Manipuri girls usually weave themselves for their own marriages depicting designs associated with special functions /ceremonies. Due to the labourious natural dye process and the difficulty faced by craftsperson in arranging this in the hilly areas. Lashingphee is now a languishing craft.

Attractive matka noil sarees

Matka noil fabric is used for making very attractive sarees with ethnic appeal. It is the short fibre left over from combing wool or spinning silk and used as a decorative additive for many spinning projects, like rovings and yarns. Silk noil though made from the short fibres, directly sourced from the silkworm cocoons, is generally not used to create high quality silk. Though the short fibre has a low luster, it can be blended with heavier fabrics like velvets and satins to create varied textures.

In India, with an increase in demand as a low-cost substitute, for making sarees, dress materials etc. Noil has re-surfaced and is experiencing a sort of revival.Silk noil can be used to design exclusive creations
