Dandiya Stick Decoration

Friends after some more long break back with a little decoration technique. If you all remember i had a competition last year at the time of Navratri Festival, it was Matka Decoration competition at my office.

So, the same continues this time also, but to be different we had Dandiya Stick decoration competition for which i stood "Second" this time and was much happier with my Dandiya stick.

I was a bit late to upload this, but still now you can have a look at it.

We were asked to decorate the stick anyway and was supposed to make it as much as attractive as possible.

So, here comes my stick with lot of Kundan stones, Golden lace, mirror and some beads.

Here is the first portion covered with Bandhani cloth and Golden lace and Kundan stones and all those possible decoration items.

Making Duplex paper Lotus Flowers

Back again..!!! My search on Origami papers are still on. Actually people here doesn't even know what kind of papers they are. Anyways i got some information from Nithya about Origami papers now available in Mumbai. I'm surly gonna try getting those papers.

But after seeing a video on Origami paper Lotus flowers i was so eager that i could not wait till i get those Origami papers. So i tried out making this little Lotus flower using Duplex paper. Duplex paper was anyways a good substitute for Origami papers.

However, It came out quite good even with Duplex paper.

I'll be back with more of such paper flowers when i get Origami papers.
Till then enjoy this Lotus flower made of Duplex paper.

Here is the tutorials for Lotus flower Making Origami Lotus Flower

Queries on ceramic mural art materials

My ceramic mural is still my favorite and i guess all my visitors favorite too.
I'm getting lot of mails and comments for my Ceramic mural work.

Now, I have received similar kind of comments and mails asking for what exactly is whitening powder and DINK and where are these materials available.

1. About whitening powder its easily available in hardware stores. As for just normal Whitening powder. You can also use ceramic powder as a substitute instead of whitening powder.

2. About DINK i have mentioned in details about what is DINK in my post on Making Ceramic Mural Art - African Mask. I know this name as DINK, this is proper Indian name.

You can get Dink easily available in Grocery stores. If anyone gets it and has a different name for DINK please do let me know.
So that I'll be sharing it with everyone .

I hope everyone is clear about whitening powder and DINK.

Thank uou. :)
