TILE PAINTING

This is my trial piece..........................Why?..............Yes.The out liner used here is not a white glass out liner.It is just fevicol.Is it true?Would you trust it?...................You must trust it.
Here the out liner is the mixture of fevicol and white fabric acrylic color.I don't know is this a correct procedure.But it is a different one to use.mixing should be done as soon as possible.Refrigerate it immediately and use whenever you want.I am so happy since i haven't hear about this method till now.
We should apply carefully because of its consistency.

This painting is done in the base of tile.So is called as a tile painting.Here i used glass colors.Now a wasted tile turn out a beautiful tile painting. I like this painting very much.

3D SWAN


This adorable swan is ready to swim .I like this very much.It is one of my favourite things in which i made.

I have made it using 3D triangles .Its procedure is posted in my previous post. Nearly 500 triangles are required to finish this swan.First we should know how to make these following things 
1.       body
2.       wings-2
3.       Tail
4.       Head
5.       Base for swan to stand.
MATERIALS:
Chat paper
Scissors
Required Triangles:
Body: 
 Stage 1-30 triangles
Stage 2-30 triangles
Stage 3-30 triangles
Stage 4-30 triangles
Stage 5-30 triangles
Stage 6-30 triangles
Wings:
Wing 1
        Stage 1-12 triangles
        Stage 2-11 triangles
        Stage 3-10 triangles
        Stage 4-9 triangles
        Stage 5-8 triangles
        Stage 6-7 triangles
        Stage 7-6 triangles
        Stage 8-5 triangles
        Stage9-4 triangles
        Stage10-3 triangles
        Stage11-2 triangles
        Stage12-1 triangle
wing 2
as the Same for wing1
Tail
        Stage 1-3 triangles
        Stage2-4 triangles
        Stage3-3 triangles
        Stage4-2 triangles
        Stage5- 1triangle
Neck and Head:
30 triangles
STAND:
       BASE 1-40 triangles
       BASE 2 – 55 triangles
PROCEDURE:
Body: 

Stage 1 and Stage 2:

A triangle has 2 parts.One is leg or tail and the other one is pocket.It has 2 tails and two  pockets.first we take 2 triangles.then take one more triangle and insert its pockets  into the two legs of these 2 triangles.Here we must insert into the  closesest legs in both of them.See next fig........now u can clear........


do the same for all  60 triangles.Now we can see two layer here.

Stage 3
similarly add 30 triangles here.now turn it upside down.....


Stage 4
next add 30 triangles here .

Stage 5
similarly add 30 triangles here

Stage 6
do the same procedure here also.


Now body part is over....................next wings................


Stage 1
here we add 12 triangles in the same manner.
Stage 2
add 11 triangles
Stage 3
 add 10 triangles
Stage 4
add 9 triangles
Stage 5
add 8 triangles
Stage 6
add 7 triangles
Stage 7
add 6 triangles
Stage 8
add 5 triangles
Stage9
add 4 triangles
Stage10
add 3 triangles
Stage11
add 2 triangles
Stage12
add 1 triangle
then its wing part will be.....................

do the same in its opposite side also.then we get two wings of our swan.....

 now wing part is over.next tail...........
TAIL:
Stage 1
add 3 triangles between the two wings.
Stage2
then add 4 triangles
Stage3
next add 3 triangles
Stage4
add 2 triangles
Stage5
next add 1 triangle
then its tail part will be.....................

 Now tail is over.Next neck...........
Neck and Head:
take 30 triangles and insert them one by one as in the fig......this gives a neck part.

remove 2 triangles in the  opposite side of  thetail.then attach this neck.now it will be................


STAND:
BASE 1-40 triangles

BASE 2 – 55 triangles

then place both of them like this............

now place our swan on the stand.......


something missing here is the eye part.using red and black marker i draw eye in a white chart and stick it.

MATERIALS:
Chat paper
Scissors
PROCEDURE:
Take a 3”x1’’size rectangle paper.


Then fold it in half ( lengthwise ).see fig.


We can see the crease in center clearly.Then hold it in our hands as in the picture


Fold it as in the pictures.

Now turn it.


Do the following steps one by one

Now we get a triangle in 3D effect.

 It will be used for my next project.

THE ORANGE ROSE

Hi this beautiful rose is a new arrival in my small garden.These shots are taken in yesterday rainy morning .we can see those rain drops on the leaves and flowers.


closer shot of the bud is here..It is still waiting for the sun to bloom.


Unfortunately,yesterday one naughty little crow came here and damaged that flower.I think that crow was impressed by the eye catching color of this flower.


I have to take further steps to protect those flowers from birds.

5.Stick two sticks vertically as in the picture. They should be on the line of the sticks which we stick earlier.





6.Apply white gum as in the picture in step 4. Then stick two ice cream sticks horizontally. . They should be on the line of the sticks which we stick earlier.
Do the same as in the previous steps. Stick these sticks till we get a desired height.


Then for its bottom portion stick required ice cream sticks as in this picture. 


Now our box is ready to use.Its side view is……………………..



Its top view is……………………………..




If you want to decorate this stick stones, artificial flowers and etc.we also use this as a spoon holder, knife holder and etc.
