A series of interviews I did for WomensWeb. It features thoughts and works of women around the world who are crafting their business by hand. The first interview was with the lovely Karen Barbe, a textile designer from Chile, who weaves, embroiders and screen prints home accessories. http://www.womensweb.in/articles/karen-barbe-textile-design/. The second was with Yokoo, who knits and sews and has a beautiful way of living. http://www.womensweb.in/articles/handmade-design-yokoo-gibraan/ The third was with Natalie Stopka who loves marrying textile techniques in book binding - http://www.womensweb.in/articles/handmade-womennatalie-stopka/

After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify
me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added I
get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there a means you can remove me
fromm that service? Thank you!
So you can see the feature of this free
web hosting is almost better than some paid web hosting.
Why not have your site hosted with a company who will give total
control over your creativity and design. The
complete authority of the server is in the hands of the web
service provider.
Hi, I desire to subscribe for this web site to get latest updates,
thus where can i do it please assist.

Hi Kavita, Love the simplicity and honestly which which you’ve expressed your thoughts on India by Design! Looking forward to more inspiring posts.
Hi Kavita,
I am an avid reader of your articles. They show so much passion for design.
I have a background in Architecture and then Masters in History and Theory from Architectural Association, London. Recently, me and my husband started an ecom site by the name of http://www.designemporia.in where we are promoting Indian designers to the global audience. Kindly have a look at the site and also look at the ábout us’ page to know more about our background and philosophy.
I think we share a similar passion for design which we are dabbling with in our own ways. Since I truly appreciate your flair for writing, I would like to invite you to write for Design Emporia’s online blog / magazine by the name of http://www.designdekko.com
There are different other possibilities that I would like to explore with you. Kindly provide me with your email id. You may mail me at surbhitanga@designemporia.in
Best,
Surbhi
Thank you Surbhi, will take a look at the links. The email id is indianbydesign (at) gmail (dot) com
Hi
I was wondering if you could help me with connecting onto blogs which document Indian textiles. I remember a link on your blog but cant seem to find it anymore.
We are developing proposals for a textile gallery and would want to delve deeper into the documentation of motifs, iconography etc in textiles from varied regions in India
Regards
Abhishek
Gaatha does document textiles along with crafts – http://gaatha.com/blog/
Ritika Mittal works with textiles from the North East – https://ritikamittal.wordpress.com/
There’s Shared Indian Talent that discusses Indian materials – http://www.sharedtalentindia.com/home/
I must say that I absolutely LOVE your blog. I am a design aspirant myself and your blog gives me so much inspiration! Thank you for that 🙂
Thank you Nivedita, am glad you enjoyed it.
