Zharoka in Pastel

Step 1

• We are going to make a lippan design-inspired wooden plank using Mouldit and mirrors.
• Take a wooden plank measuring 9” x 14”.
• Paint the plank with a base coat of Acrylic Colour White 27. Let it dry.

Step 2

Paint the second coat using Acrylic Colour Pastel Pink from the Pastel Kit. Let it dry.

Step 3

• Draw the lippan-inspired design on the painted plank.
• Stick an acrylic mirror in the center with Fabric Glue.
• Prepare the clay dough by mixing Mouldit resin base and hardener, then roll the clay into thin coils and let them get semi-dry.
• Start sticking the coils in a crisscross pattern around the mirror using Fabric Glue.
• Similarly, create an arch shape with the clay around the mirror using clay carving tools. Let it dry.

Step 4

• Roll the dough to make a slab with a rolling pin, then use the flower plunger to create flowers from the slab.
• Stick the flowers in between the diamond shapes created with the coils using Fabric Glue, ensuring that the flowers are placed in alternate diamond shapes.
• Stick small diamond-shaped mirrors aesthetically on the plank with Fabric Glue. Let it dry.

Step 5

• Paint the coils with dry strokes of Acrylic Colour Pearl Metallic Gold 352. Let it dry.
• Enhance the flowers by sticking pink ornamental stones using Fabric Glue. Let it dry.
• Your Zharoka with lippan art is now ready to decorate the wall.
