mural work

I think i can call this as a mural work. I've done this with fevicol + ceramic powder mix. Flowers with the same dough & the outlines with the same as paste. But i finished the Saree part with silver 3d out liner and for jewels I colored with golden 3D out liner.
The background effect is bit painful work I cut the aluminium foil into pieces ans pasted them.

But i should improve a  lot.

glass painting

This glass painting done by me. I tried the outline with the help of ceramic powder + fevicol mix. But i should have mixed a color with ceramic. And added glitters. I used both solvent & stain glass paints.

GLASS PAINTING - STEPS



GLASS PAINTING
This is a solvent glass painting. It’s very simple to do.

MATERIALS REQUIRED:
1. A plain glass {whichever size you need}
2. Solvent glass paint {available in stationary & craft shops}
3. Glass liner {Mostly it is available with the paint box itself}
4. Picture to paint {You can draw out of your own or Xerox your design}

METHOD:
1. First take the glass, wipe with plain water or with nail polish remover & air dry it.
2. Now keep the design picture under the glass & stick with the cello tape in corners so that the picture won’t move while we draw.
3. Then draw the outlines with the glass liner & allow it to dry for 30 minutes.
4. If you made some mistakes while drawing the outline do not try to wipe immediately it’ll spoil the whole thing. So you can cut the error part only after the liner dries out.
5. After it dries up you can fill the colors directly on to the glass.
6. Thing you should note is that you should fill the glass paint without any bubbles. If bubbles comes try to remove it with any sharp material or a dry painting brush.
7. Now allow the painting to dry for 24 hours.
8. Now the painting is ready to use you can frame it & give as gift or decorate your own home or room.


TIPS:
1. I’ve shown you some of my own glass paints
2. You can also make a photo frame using this
3. You can also use fabric paints with glass paints to get more textures. Here I painted the photo frame using both glass & fabric metallic shades.
4. You can also give mixed color effects.
5. Can use crushed aluminum foil at the back before framing that will give you a metallic effect.

Serial mania

Friends,
For a long time I'm thinking to share this feeling. About the serial mania. Yes even before 5 to 10 years in Indian homes there will be a devotional or at least a calm feeling from 5 pm itself. Especially our mothers or grand mothers will light dheepam in their home and 'll pray for their family. Grand mothers will tell very good moral stories that was directly very much helpful in bringing up the children with good qualities. And the children in the home followed some good habits from their family they 'll play in the street with their neighbourhood. This created the children very good qualities in them like sharing, adjusting with others, It created the leadership quality without spending money.
But the case now is ......... HOMES ARE BECOMING JUST A HOUSE. Yes mom and grand mom are watching T.V serials in front of the children. They send them tuition's because they don't want to be disturbed. I don't know weather they are aware that they are indirectly feeding the children with violence & wrong relationships ( are the only policy of serial directors).
Young mothers please awake! Its a high time to take care of our children. Please don't spoil the future generation just for your feelings. Grand moms tell good stories to your grand child don't cry for serials. India is the only country with a great manpower especially youngsters that can do anything good even bad. PLEASE SAVE OUR CHILDREN FROM GREAT THREAT INSIDE THE HOME. MAKE EVERY SINGLE HOME A TEMPLE.

THANK YOU

WAITING FOR YOUR VALUABLE COMMENTS.
WITH CARE

Education

I'm a very new blogger, created my account just now. The motive to create this blog was to share my thoughts with you people. I think our thoughts are most valuable not only for us but also for the society. I have many questions with me as you all have within you. My first question was ''how to improve our education system?''. I want your valuable thoughts. If we start a school hmmm... ok first for the children from 3 years to 10 years how should be the education system in india?. I'm waiting for the comments , ideas & feedback to become a good blogger.
