The Beginning

This is one hobby which I ve been pursuing for the past two years and have experimented a lot with it and I thoroughly enjoying doin so. Started doin it in 2008 with a basic set which I thought I ll give to the temple near my house, I made a maroon stone necklace with golden beads. And then decided to commercialize by making few earrings and few sets, some pearl ones and other stones sets.




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.....
