Antique Ganesha

I found an old Ganesha and Krishna idol. I gave it some antique look. The final output looks pretty.
Steps:

1. Take an old idol which you want to revive.
2. Wipe it well to remove the dust.
3. Make small pieces of aluminum foil and stick it all over. It takes a while to dry.
4. Paint the idol with Camlin Calligraphy black ink.
5. Using a slightly moist soft cloth, polish the idol well.

Warli Painting

I did some warli painting on the pot.

Steps:


1. Take an earthen pot from any roadside shop.
2. Wipe it well to remove the dust.
3. Paint it with Camlin Black Acrylic color. It dries almost instantly.
4. With thin brush, start drawing the warli figures in Camlin white Acrylic color. Just put the outlines. Ensure the outlines are as thing as possible. If needed, use water to mix with the paint to make it thinner.
5. With a slightly thick brush, fill the figures with the same white color.

 

Lilly using Crepe / Duplex paper

I bought some gold coloured crepe paper. The colour is so vibrant that I couldn’t resist making something out of it. So I made huge a Lilly. But for the leaves I used the Duplex paper. Once done, the flower looked gorgeous and when placed amongst the rest of the artificial flowers I have made, this stood out. I tried hard, but couldn’t capture the beauty of the flower I had made.

Modern Art – Painting

I did some painting of random shapes and objects. I used vibrant colours. Once, done, I was amazed at how it looked, so went and got it framed :-).

Crystal Flowers

I was waiting to make some crystal flowers because they look so royal and different. But I didn’t have the right coloured crystals at home. When I got them I could hardly wait and immediately plunged to make those. The crystal flowers looked so pretty. Whoever saw it, just said “wow!!!! Beautiful !!!”.

Door decorations are very common in India; you will see it in front of almost every home. I made one with green crystals.

Terracotta Jewelry

I made some terracotta jewelry.  I bought some clay, made different shapes of beads, dollars and earrings and left them to dry. Once they dried up, I painted them with different hues and assembled to form necklaces. What do you think of them?
