First Try of Warli Painting

Warli is a different and unique kind of painting where the pictures are quite simple and one can depict any event in a very easy way. (This is my own perception). To read more about this Warli Art check Wikipedia. 

When we made pakku mattai plates for Navarathri, I wanted to try this on those plates which had a slightly black and not pure white. It happenned inspite of me and daughter choosing the plates very very carefully. The first brown one was done on a big plate and the second Orange one was done on a small plate. The peacocks came out quite pretty. We used these two plates to distribute chandanam kumkumam and vethalai pakku. As these plates are quite light, even the kids could handle them. And the surprising part was they did not bend inspite of the weight of the cups.
