Through an intricate play of dynamic weaving techniques, energetic jewel-toned dyes and concentric geometry, this set reimagines a time-honored Kashmiri tradition into striking circular discs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWillow wicker weaving is one of Kashmir’s most celebrated organic crafts, historically renowned for creating everyday utilities, storage baskets and traditional Kangris. The process begins with harvesting young, flexible willow reeds (Salix shoots), which are boiled in large cauldrons to soften the wood before their bark is carefully peeled away. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this collection, the natural medium is elevated by incorporating hand-dyed willow strands alongside raw, sun-dried reeds, utilizing both tight coil-weaving and delicate open-work lattice techniques. The set functions as a harmonious visual narrative across three distinct circular canvases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the left is a smaller, high-energy disc defined by a swirling tri-color vortex of emerald green, magenta pink and vibrant mustard yellow. At its center rests a slightly raised, cross-hatched diamond medallion in deep green, acting as a structural anchor for the spiraling weave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the top right is the largest piece in the set featuring a bold target layout. A yellow central core expands into a deep blue band, surrounded by an outer ring of open lattice mesh where blue, green and natural cream reeds interweave. Below this is a balanced, multi-ring design with a warm ochre center, framed by a thick blue woven band that adds rich tactile contrast against the pale, natural outer ring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artwork creates depth by balancing dense, tightly packed twill weaves with open-work lattice patterns that catch light and shadow. Each disc is enclosed by a multi-strand rim of natural, un-dyed willow rod. Tightly bound around the perimeter, this organic outer frame secures the structural shape while providing a clean, traditional finish that grounds the lively colors and geometric patterns within.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bisma Mehraj","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49896390066390,"sku":null,"price":5200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Three_Discs_in_Willow_Wicker_Craft_by_Bisma_Mehraj.jpg?v=1785410269","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/three-discs-in-willow-wicker-craft-by-bisma-mehraj","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
