Hand Block Printed Pillow Covers

These colorful pillow covers are printed by hand in Jaipur, India, in the centuries old craft of block printing. The traditional patterns we've chosen are created using a virtual puzzle of hand-carved wooden blocks, the making of which is an art in itself, as an individual block is needed for each color in the design. Just imagine the skill involved! Each block is dipped in a different color and carefully pressed to the fabric, this process is repeated to create the complete pattern. Once finished, the fabrics are laid in the hot Indian sun to dry before being tailored into these pillow covers.
