MDF Ganesha painting

Painting using Ceramic Cone in MDF cut out is always a new experience. Gifted for a dear friend.

Ganesha in mdf cutout

I got two different designs of Ganesha cut out in MDF. One is a traditional design and the other a slightly different. I designed that cut out too using ceramic cone. It gave the look of the Ganeshas of Indonesia. But I liked the outcome though. Any ways Ganesha is Ganesha always for me in whatever shape he is in.

Ceramic Cone Art on Paper

When I had to do Aarthi plate for a marriage, they provided me with a stainless steel plate and asked me to deocrate it as I like and one of the designs I made is ceramic cone art. The only condition I was told was that the plate should be reused. So I had to stick a chart inside the plate and do the decoration. I prefferred yellow background for the ceramic cone art and it definitely gave a good look. As the ceramic paint is puff up paints the impression that it created on the paper too was amazing. I placed a small terracotta lamp in the middle too which made it a complete Aarthi Thali.

Painted wooden photo frame

I purchased MDF laser cut wooden photo frames both family size and small size. I wanted to gift a small photo frame for my friend who was pregnant. I wanted to gift her a small photo frame so that she can place the baby's pic. So I painted one of the frame using Acrylic Pearl colour and decorated it with ceramic cone. It turned out really pretty and she liked it very much.

Ceramic Cone Art

One of kind of air clays that could be made at home is ceramic clay. This clay can be used to make Murals and name plates. But apart from using it as a clay, it can be made in a semi solid form, just like Mehandi cone, and different kinds of art work can be used to make different art works and designs.

How to prepare ceramic cones?

Things needed:
Ceramic powder (available in hardware shops)- 1/2 kg
Fevicol - 1/2 kg
Water - 1 cup
Plastic covers (transparent ones)
