Painting the story of a painting!!

Well!!!It all started when I was waiting for my job call for letter and was sitting at home in Aug, 2008 I had loads of free time and I wanted to do soemthun worthwhile. Inspired by a relative, I decided to embark on this journey of pursuing my interests in arts and crafts and thus it started with a visit to a nearby shop which was an in and out art shop and one can find almost anything there. Coincidentally, my b'day was around the corner that time and one of my friend wanted to know what I wud like as a gift. I replied "a glass painitng kit" which I had been longing to do for ages. So we went shopping and I got the gift I wanted. Then came out my first painting of Lord Ganesha which I gifted to the same friend and it still adorns the hall in his house.:)

Crystal Glass Painting

Now I wanted to experiment and I decided to do soemthun which I saw on TV. It was a crystal glass painting. A packet of painting crystals was bought and on the glass surface I applied fevicol after drawing the sketch with the glass liner. I sprinkled the crystals on the fevicol and wiped those not necessary. After letting it dry for a few hours, I applied the solvent based glass colors on them and voila, the painting was done. N of course it was yet another Ganesha cos he can be drawn in various forms and one need not be a great artist. This was a gift to my sis for her bday in Nov, 2009 and what else than a Ganesh painting for her to add to her already existing awesome Ganesh collection.....
