Leaving super early for the train, we moved onto Jaipur. After a few hours of travel we arrived at our lushhhh accommodation for the next few days. It was pretty much a palace and was so beautiful! From here we did some print work with Fiona in Bagru. The loveliest, Mr Rumbabu-gee welcomed us into his home and helped us for the next couple of days to do some iron block printing and mud resist indigo dying.
We also received our own woodblocks and visited the man who did them for us. All our woodblocks turned out amazingly !! Even the girls with the most intricate line work turned out so accurately !! Cannot wait to use them!
It was really fun starting with print and can't wait to explore further in the next week ! After we dyed all our resist printing experiments we said Thankyou and goodbye to Mr Rambabu-gee and drove to Pushkar. We arrived at Seventh heaven which will be our home for the next week and saw Fiona's workshop where we wil be working. We then went on a camel ride through the countryside of the village to get to Fiona's house. Fiona has her own camel, cow, dog and tourtoiseses !!!!
We all cooked a big Indian dinner together that night ! Soooo yummmm
