Just thought of sharing one of my handmade stuff with you guys....
We
have been shifted to our own house since 3.5 years. Since that time I
was in search of a unique nameplate for my door with special personal
touch. I am the person who loves to decorate her home with personal feel
at almost each corner of the house. I guess that is why I take much
time to fill in things in my house....I found hardly such a nameplate
which can give a kinda aura when someone enters to my home...Hence I
gave up an idea of buying nameplate and thought of creating one on my
own....
Luckily
some leftover stuff from Subodh's (my hubby) hardware kit had some
plastic plywood kinda sheet, m-seal, araldite...I thought such things
are OK to start with a nameplate..offcourse my drawer is full of acrylic
colors, beads and brushes....
I have cut the plastic sheet with the dimension which I found suitable for nameplate on my door. An acrylic color of earthen (warli
background color left over) was applied on it. It was allowed to let it
dry for some time. Acrylic colors doesn't take much time to dry..that's
why I love them to use...:)
Further
with m-seal,...(unfortunately I had grey, black m-seal which is used
for plumbing work, rather white is best for making some artistic mould
like)...I made Ganesha and snail. Black m-seal gets dried up
soon...hence one need to be fast with shape molding. Ganesha was colored
with golden brown and snail was colored with green, yellow and black.
Please use talcum powder while making such articles with m-seal. I have
applied mirror like beads on the snail's tail. Both the things were
stuck on colored plastic sheet with araldite. I allowed it to dry for
some time. Meanwhile I made letters for our surname with m-seal, which
were stuck on plastic sheet using araldite. Then the alphabets were
colored.
Also I made a boarder on nameplate using m-seal and colored with yellow acrylic. I purposely used irregular shape of alphabets to give a natural, artistic look. One can use stencils if they want proper alphabates.
