VILLAGE - MY 3-D MURAL

I have tried to capture a village in my 3-D mural...

A beautiful village...

complete with a hut with a pretty kolam at it's doorstep...

A Ganesha under a tree...flanked by Nagars  on his sides...

the scorching  sun on an Indian summer day...

and a bullock cart laden with hay

going to the nearest farm...

I have used a plywood for the base and worked with

glue and ceramic powder to give the raised effect

and finally gave the dried piece a metallic finish....

KONARK WHEEL - A MURAL

•                         

 


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.
