Material Intricately crafted earrings handmade using whole rice seeds (paddy) & wooden beads by Putul Das Mitra. She has been weaving delicate paddy jewellery since 2000. A national award winner, she along with other women practice making paddy jewellery which uses an excellent balance between professional finesse and traditional natural wealth. Paddy, which is rice with husk, is first treated with Araldite gum. After that, the grains are beautifully sewn in symmetric patterns. A melange of artificial beads, studs, nylon threads, acrylic colours, and other décor is used to weave lightweight earrings, necklaces, tops, and other items. Locally known as ‘Dhaan’ crafts, the process is complex and requires delicate handiwork.
