This mural is based on the famous wheel of the Sun Temple in Konark.
It is worked on a wooden base with ceramic powder and glue mixed together to form a dough.
Over that markings are made to give the necessary cuts and dents...
In the center of the ornate wheel,I have placed a hand made Ganesha,
Surrounding him are symbols that are considered sacred to Hindus-
Namely-Surya,Chandra,OM,SHREE,Lotus,Kumbh,Swastika and the feet of the Divine.
I gave the whole mural a matallic coating topped with a burnished ,antique finish.
superb! I need to learn this art. I have ceramic powder but don't know the proportion of glue & powder to be used.

Mira,
ReplyDeleteUsually you have to add white glue little by little till you make a chappati dough like mass with the ceramic powder.(I find fevicol too messy to clean up after measuring with a cup or glass).Do try with small quantity first.
Pretty interesting creation. LOve this.
