Rajasthani Katputtli !!!

Made a set of three paintings as a gift to a friend of mine as she is moving into her new home.

I intention was to give her something colorful to brighten up her new home, so decided to do a painting inspired by the colors of Rajasthan. 

I have used epoxy putti to make jewelry for the female puppets and turbans for the male ones.

Added mirrors to the center of the bird and for the eyes.

A closeup to show  the patterns.

Side view to show the 3 dimensional jewelry.

Peacock, acrylic on canvas...

A friend mine requested me to teach her daughter do some paintings as she wants to make a art wall in her new home showcasing the art work of both her daughters. When asked, the girl said she wishes to do a peacock. She really worked hard and has done a great job, so here is the picture of her hard work.

Imagine how hard it would have been for a first grader to do all those lines. 

Indian postage stamp...

Designed this postage stamp for one on my Art instruction schools assignment.
