Things needed:
- Pot
- Sand paper-you can get in hardware shops.
- Enamel paint-colour of your choice to paint the pot(here I've used black colour.)
- M-seal or shilpakar clay-avilable in hardware shops.
- Acrylic colours of your choice.
- Transparent varnish.
- Knife.
- Talcum powder.
- First prepare the pot by rubbing it with the sand paper so that you get the surface of the pot in an even manner.
- Dust it with a cloth.
- Apply black enamel paint over the pot evenly using a flat brush.
- Let it dry for an hour.Apply second coat if necessary.
- Now mix the two portions of m-seal in equal proportions so that it is formed into a dough.Apply talcum powder to your hands whenever you feel it sticky.
- Make small balls for the grapes.
- Make thin strings out of mseal and twine around a pencil or a brush so that you can get the twigs.
- Make thilagam shape out of mseal and cut it at the edges using a sharp knife to make the leaves.Give impressions of veins using the knife.
- Make strawberry shapes and prick it with a toothpick so that you get strawberries.Make leaves for them.
- Make shapes as soon as possible b'cos mseal dries within 20 min.You need not adhesive to stick it as it sticks by itself.Apply adhesive if needed.
- Colour them as you wish and apply transparent varnish after the complete pot gets dried.
- Thats it !You got beautiful grapes and stawberries over your pot.
Though it appears tedious it is very easy to make and you can finish a pot in 2or 3 hours time.Make fun with mseal and colours..........
