The color palette has not changed: turmeric for yellow, kumkuma for red, indigo for black-blue. The wood spins on a lathe; the lacquer is applied while it turns.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two ornamental dolls are handcrafted in Channapatna, Karnataka, using an artisanal lacquered wood tradition that produces color from natural pigments, turmeric, kumkuma, and indigo, combined to make orange, green, and the particular warm black that characterizes this craft. The lacquer is applied by hand to spinning wood and sets as a smooth, slightly tactile surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang them by the string they come with, a window, a doorway, a hook beside a mirror. They are light and slightly glossy and catch eye without demanding attention. The colors will not fade in the way synthetic dyes do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannapatna Lacquered Wood · Natural Pigment Dyes · Handmade in 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":51903930368317,"sku":"HOT-ORN-001","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2363\/3213\/files\/lifestyle_1_c0120ead-15be-4bb4-8b15-1e9534af1a4f.png?v=1782990814","url":"https:\/\/houseoftaraasha.com\/products\/channapatna-lacquered-wooden-dolls-natural-dyes-pair","provider":"House of Taraasha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
