Pot Decorations



If we decide on having small samples for the summer classes for the kids these are the perfect projects for them.

Preparation:
Samples had been made from kulfi(ice cream) pots.
Soak pots in water and scrape well using emery sheet.Leave it to dry.
Coat the surface with white all surface acrylic paint.

Method:
On top of the white coat paint your desired colours and leave it to dry.Match the instructions and pictures from top left to the sequence as follows.

Type 1:
Paint a color in abstract shapes and while its wet, drop few paint strokes and use a tooth pick to give a camouflage effect. Use 3d glitter to finish the outline.
Type 2:
Draw outlines of flowers with colour pencil and just fill i with bright shades.
Type 3:
Apply crackle medium and a coat of paint over it. Leave it to dry and the medium will do its wonders.Outline with 3d liner.
Type 4:
Use any craft clay available, sprinkle enough talcum powder and roll the dough on a polythene sheet or any non greasy surface.Let the shape be of a imperfect circle.
Apply glue over the pot and just drape the clay naturally and adjust the drapes to get a pleated effect.
Colour after the clay dries.Refer the brand instructions carefully for the drying time.

Finishing: 
Use clear varnish or any varnish brands available in the craft stores.Coat and leave it to dry.

How easy can a reverse glass painting be on a printed glass? , Never had experienced until I found some printed glasses available in the market for use. The ready pieces where too thin so more often logistics was a night mare. Came across a contact person before 10 years who could custom print many designs but to his night mare I chose this calendar art for outline printing. This is the only glass painting that I have repeated many times side lining my thoughts of NO REPETITION POLICY. A few policies can be overruled, when it has a beautiful outcome.
