“I received much more cow dung than I required in my farmland. That’s when I started thinking of an alternative for not letting it go to waste.”, says P Ganesan, an organic farmer who has been making #artefacts for the past five years, using nothing but cow dung and cow urine.
Hailing from Perungamanallur village in Madurai, 52-YO Ganesan has invented a unique and organic way of crafting handicrafts.
“I craft it by my hands. No machinery or mould is involved, and I don’t add ingredients other than cow dung and cow urine.
“I craft it by my hands. No machinery or mould is involved, and I don’t add ingredients other than cow dung and cow urine.
It is 100 per cent natural and eco-friendly.”
Currently, Ganesan makes over 150 different products, including utility and decorative items. A 6-foot tall Buddha statue made using 30 kg of #cowdung is one of their masterpieces created by him.

1/5 Making an orphan smile gives you immense happiness. You cannot find it anywhere or anything. It’s this smile that keeps me motivated.
Ayat is an orphan. She has two brothers and a sister. Delivered them a Winter Package. Ayat insisted that I shall take a cup of tea. #Smile

2/5 I didn’t want to go inside their house, but her grandma told her that he may not like to drink tea offered by an impoverished family. Then I spent 15 minutes with the orphans. They were so happy. On my way out, I asked Ayat to go with me till the street. #Afghanistan
3/5 I asked her what she wants. She said she loves biscuit but she has to eat it before going back to home. Because she doesn’t want her siblings to know she got biscuits. She returned home with enough snacks.

Este año quise materializar la esencia de mis últimos años, la tradición familiar en orfebrería, la maternidad, nuestra pasión por la investigación de la época prehispánica donde es un homenajear a nuestro occidente prehispánico. #maternity #prehispanic
Este pectoral está inspirado en una figurilla prehispánica que fue recolectada y actualmente esta expuesta en el Museo Regional de Guadalajara @mrg_inah corresponde a una mujer de alto rango que está amamantando a su bebé, típica de la Fase El Grillo (450-900 d.C.) #westernmexico

Today is the last day of the week long colab with @dStephenB as @MuseumBuddy Stephen has enlightening us with his work in the field of #military #history & representation of #indian #Soldiers in #Britisharmy during the 2 #worldwars apart from that he takes people on #guidedtours
Stephen tell us more about your tours to various #war related #heritagesites across #England What are your plans for the future, post lockdown times? I’ll post some of my #guided tours photos here in #India with my #design #students btw today’s #TeachersDay here 😎
The 1st is from #Amaravati #Buddhist #stupa site 2nd is with a #potter at #Dharavi in #Mumbai 3+4th from #Kanheri #Buddhist #caves in #Mumbai I take tours there to understand how2000 year old #handmade rock caves had addressed #waterharvesting #ecological #Sustainability concerns
This is a #handmade #terracotta panel from a 19thcentury #temple in #murshidabad in #Bengal it depicts #soldiers with their #arms we can clearly see from their #costumes #headgear #footwear #swords that they are part of the #local population @dStephenB @arthysteriaa @MuseumBuddy
This #terracotta panel from a 19thcentury #temple in #baranagar in #Bengal shows #European #Soldiers How do we know they are? From their #muskets #attire #headgear the presence of these soldiers must have had a great impact in the #lives of their local people #museums #stories
Another stunning #terracotta panel from a temple in #atpur in #Bengal @DalrympleWill said in his talk yesterday that the #British carried away 40 boats of wealth from the #murshidabad treasury in 18th cen. No wonder these #European soldiers are even in #temples flanked by #gods
The real heroes who deserve to be celebrated are the skilled crafts communities integral to #preservation #conservation of #heritage #sites #monuments and #museums across the world. These are photos from the #NalandaUniversity, a #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite in #Bihar in 2013
Here, when we had gone on a research trip as the Bihar Museum #design team, we had found #craftsmen making bricks and sculptures to help in the restoration of the 1500 year old site. We thought this was extremely imp as the process was similar
I had suggested that this process be filmed and displayed as part of ‘continuing traditions’ in the new Museum. Thankfully, this was accepted and a film has been made 😊

Thank you the real heroes, we salute you for your skill and hard work, not just today but everyday 🙏🏽

The French divided Pondy into the Indian and French Quarter by a canal that cut across it. Even today, when you walk around you notice stark differences in the architecture and in the street names. Read more on: varnikadesigns.wordpress.com/2020/04/03/pon…

The French or White Quarter is distinguished by their bright yellow, grey or white villas with high walls, columns, large wooden doors #louvres with straight iron grills.Most of Indian Quarter houses were originally spread out around the #temples &have more #wooden #architecture
“Best #design is something which works with all of your 5 #senses and is invisible.” Pragati Singhal, #textiledesigner For #Feb, VarnikaDesigns #Instagram takeover was by Pragati. She took us on a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ride
Pragati asks: “How often ru aware about the movements/changes around, about the smell of the place or how the air tastes?Do u c the pattern formed by stars or how those flowers attract the bees?
When was the last time u actually tasted ur food?

His objective when he started the takeover was:”I am looking forward to take the viewers through the lives of #local #people in #Bihar,focusing on their way of living,the types of products they use,things that lead &influence their lives by building a visual experience for them.
Will also be sharing my personal insight that I have observed while living here over the period of time, what misconceptions we have about rural regions &the golds to pick up as inspiration form their lives and implement in ours”

8th Sikh #Guru, Har Kishen, helped #smallpox #cholera #epidemic patients in 1664 from here.The #freshwater from the well here quenched many thirsts. He himself succumbed.Later, the #Maharaja built a #reservoir, still revered as it #symbolically links to the water from its #well

Dangers of the sea: with impending #Monsoons, fishing communities across #India tie up their boats. All along the #Indian #coastline, #boats of different dimensions and #colours, await the #dark #clouds to wreck havoc on their #home - the #sea
The #rainyseason recharges #water & #human bodies, but the #fishingcommunities have no #income.They would have had to save enough to tide them through. They spend this time with their families,repairing boats,fishing nets& specialise in #hunting small #crustacean close to #shore
No #freshcatch is served in #restaurants on #coastline but no one’s complaining as we care for our fishing communities&this is rare opportunity for expressing that concern.in #Monsoon we stand together,waiting quietly for the storms,the rains - nature’s fury& #beauty

Around 2003, while working in Mumbai, many of her colleagues from varied Himalayan states of India, discussed frequently and naively on the needs of design interventions to create livelihood opportunities so as to push mountain industries that otherwise face isolation.
They dreamt of opening #design studios from where they could work, expand on #Indian #Designscape – bringing forth the unique #mountain #lifestyles #philosophies on #materials & #form. Today, Chitku Design Studio is a result of such dreams varnikadesigns.wordpress.com/2019/06/25/mee…
#Dehradun is the capital of #Uttarakhand, a state formed in 2000 in the Himalayan region of #India. Historically, it was known as ‘dun’ till the #British referred to it as ‘Doon’. From references to God Shiva, Ram, the #Sikh Guru Har Ram Rai, #Chinese traveller Huien Tsang...
#Afghan ruler DostMohammad sent here in exile by British& freedom fighter #RashBihariBose came here #Dehradun has seen lots of #history of #Indian subcontinent.Did u know delicate Dehradun #rice was introduced by Dost Mohammad?u still get delicious Afghani #cuisine @virsanghvi
These #photos try to capture beauty of #architecture of the old city.Majestic once but presently dilapidated, they have a lot of stories within them.Exploring these late 19th-early 20th century #havelis or mansions with #designstudents imagining lives of people who lived in them.
#Kumharwada in #Dharavi is a Potter’s colony. Abbas bhai said the #British had settled all potters here since 1921.We visited his #pottery workshop&studio yesterday. He and his brother Yusuf bhai are carrying on 1000years old legacy of #potterymaking in the #Indiansubcontinent
They said they’re originally from #Sindh &for generations have only known pottery making!It would interest you to know that this #creative form existed across early #civilisations globally.This particular group of potters can be linked to the #IndusValleyCivilisation &before
They make pots of all sizes mainly for hotels.I’d met him at a #museum I worked in.yesterday some #young #designers got to spend time with themThat’s #knowledgesharing ain’t it?#handmade #mumbai #art #culture #heritage #history #craft #clay #destress #storiesofindia #travelwithme

I saw a couple carrying these contraptions on way to class at a #designinstitute. My driver drove close to the bikers and they slowed down for me to take photos, giggled &waved😎thanks to Pooja I now know that these are #handmade #mousetraps used in #agricultural #domestic spaces
She studied them for her environmental perception course and even bought one. Pooja said, there’s a specific indigenous people who make this out of palm leaf and wood - all locally available material. They sell these for Rs 120 - 150
They are also hired to install and empty them when the #rats are caught. The makers of this #traditional #local #designsolution make about Rs 10, 000/- per month. Thank you Pooja 😊with every #student I learn so much

Pues me voy a animar como dije el otro día a hacer un proyecto 365, pero en vez de haciendo fotos, editando fotos mías antiguas, random, basadas en el mood de cada día.
La única limitación que me voy a poner, va a ser el formato 1:1... A ver lo que sale xD

I´m gonna try a photography 365 project, but instead of taking photos, processing old random photos of mine...
Only one rule: the square format.
Let´s see what I got, which will be directly affected by the mood of the day...
