Novia Novica Handmade Chekutty Dolls Embroidered Viscose Ornaments
Description
Behind this set of nine lovely holiday ornaments lies a story of resilience: they are inspired by the Chekutty dolls that were created in India in 2018 during the aftermath of the floods that devastated the state of Kerala and that were crafted from found saris collected after the event. These ornaments of three different sizes are a tribute to the dolls that symbolize the people's will to overcome tragedy. They are handcrafted from viscose, embroidered with rayon and zari yarn, stuffed with polyfill for the heads and feature cotton cords for decoration and hanging. The set presented by Asha Prabha comes with a polyester pouch to store the ornaments.

It was necessary for a girl to know cooking, stitching and embroidery apart from all the other household chores. Necessity became passion, and I started teaching sewing and embroidery to younger generations, including my two daughters. When my husband shifted our residence to a village far from the city, I found myself teaching stitching and embroidery to new admirers — my neighbors. I started teaching them free of cost. I began with dresses and slowly moved to home décor and utilitarian designs like cushion covers, floor mats, handbags, belts, and more. As the number of students grew, so did the demand for our work. Our first customers were our many relatives and friends, then gradually we began offering our designs to shops. Little by little, I found I was no longer only a homemaker but also a working woman with seven to nine ladies assisting me. My main concentration has always been on quality. I am very much excited to work with you, as I think your concept is unique and I'm excited to be able to sell our designs directly to people overseas. The handmade touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
