New findings..

Its been a while since my last post and this is for the fellow craft enthusiasts..
I just found a new place to get good materials, cotton and other stuff in commercial street. Its very difficult to go all the way to chickpet for the same,so the new findings.
Pooja collections.
No:8, D.R.Towers, 126/127,Dispensary road,near commercial street.
Very well organised and wide range of materials at by far the cheapest rates in commercial street.
There is Khadi bhandar few feet from Pooja collections on dispensary rd. The prices are higher than pooja collections and is cramped with clothes ,with very little space to walk around . Obviously they have a huge collection, if you have time and patience i recommend a visit. Make sure you check the clothes for holes courtesy godown ambiance and the cockroaches i guess..
I recommend good cotton silks from Pooja collections, a visit to Punjab tailors and get great embroidery at say 150 Rs for works on neck and sleeves.
Punjab tailors
#3,Lakshmana mudaliar street(commercial street cross).
Stitch it and voila, u have a beautiful kurta.. I am very happy with mine...

Next up is a craft shop,nothing fancy about this one.. just good-old,hole in the wall type.
Devi and company
130/131,Ethiraj Complex
Ibrahim sahib street,near commercial street.
Ph:09845066498
They have wooden block prints,screen printing stuff, soap making stuff,fabric paint etc etc..I got my wooden block prints from here, they have a huge collection. The prices are almost same Rs. 35,40,60, as the one in Jayanagar 4th block( The craft store inside 4th blck complex,ground floor near the area where u get all the pooja and birthday stuff)
Thats all for today.
