I bought a huge kalamkari work painted on a cloth from chennai(colour used blue/off white/yellow/marron).I recently got it framed, now i realise that some colour have spread to other part of the design. like one colour merged with other colour. Is it due to humid/moisture or a poor quality vegetable dye/colour. Have anyone expereinced it. Coz I really like the work and colour scheme -its mythological depiction.since it a big picture instead of a glass frame, plastic sheet has been used. As I mentioned the colour bloting is visible mainly on the border.Please advice some creative idea. (change)

if it is on febric then why dont u go for thread work on border. u can do it ur self but first u have to take that painting out of the frame. and second is u have to retouch its boarder with some fabric colours. same shed which used in paining.
u can do jardousi or grain work on its border.
but it will take lot time passion. one more easyest way to retouch it...is tube work. its a thik colour tube u can get anywhere in from market and retouch its border. just push that tubes from bottom and draw on border like mahendi artist.

kalamkari original paints can not be spoiled. they can be purchased from Sri Kalahasti or from Lepakshi Emporium.
