Here is my decorated pot...
This is originally a dull mud pot...
which is-may be -used to store
water in olden days...
But,in days of packaged mineral water
and refrigerated ice cold water,
the cool water stored in mud pots
holds no charm today...
But ,these quaint shaped mud pots
have found a better ,aesthetic use nowadays...
I just picked up this mud pot
from a roadside potter...
I patiently sandpapered it...
then gave it a coat of primer
and then a shiny coat of black enamel paint.
I let it dry well for a few days...
Then I made a dough of
ceramic powder and glue...
(somethig with a consistency of chappati dough)
and shaped leaves and flowers with this dough
and stuck it on the pot.
Again I let it dry up naturally
in my shady balcony for a few days...
Now the ceramic work was ready for painting...
I coloured it with acrylic colors
and gave it a shiny coat of varnish...
Now ,it is a perfect corner piece,indeed!
