The lacquer is applied by hand while the piece spins; the pigments are turmeric, kumkuma, and indigo. A craft that is several hundred years old, making something that hangs on a winter tree.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurned on a lathe in Channapatna, Karnataka, and painted using the town's traditional artisanal natural pigment palette, these two handmade snowman ornaments represent the Channapatna craft at its most playful. The lacquer has a slight sheen; the colors are warm and slightly muted in the way natural dyes are, which is different from the brightness of synthetic versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey come with their own hanging strings. Tree ornaments, window ornaments, mantle ornaments, they work anywhere you want something small and specific. The pairing is not perfectly symmetrical because the painting is handcrafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannapatna Lacquered Wood · Natural Pigment Dyes · Karnataka · Lathe-Turned\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStill Light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe with a dry, soft cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not immerse in water or use liquid cleaners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove wax residue with a soft cloth while still warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolish metal surfaces occasionally with a soft brass cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"House of Taraasha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51903931056445,"sku":"HOT-ORN-002","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2363\/3213\/files\/lifestyle_1_4d2a7c68-6d92-4e5d-a7e7-f5ee409f3115.png?v=1782990832","url":"https:\/\/houseoftaraasha.com\/products\/channapatna-lacquered-snowman-ornaments-natural-dye-pair","provider":"House of Taraasha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
