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.

Krishna Mural

I know the picture quality could have been much better.The mural has a hefty frame work and is double nailed to the wall.

Mosaic design fish

For those who aren't very familiar with the freehand and other techniques in ceramic painting this  mosaic inspired fish design comes in with out a challenge.All we need majorly is a tile of your choice that is available.Choose any light color to make it more attractive and it leaves us with more imagination in the choice of colors. This art work could be framed, plastered onto a rough wall like a collage work and most importantly leaves us with a choice of fixing it anywhere without a necessity of safeguarding it much like a glass although this too is a object that could brittle.
