    Dear maddie
    Good job. The clarity of the photo is so good it is like looking from near.
    Thanks for sharing. When I lived in Banglore I was able to learn this and do one Krishna art.Its there at my mothers place. Keep sharing..

    You can get embossing materials in different places in Bangalore. One good place is Raja market. The places I go to are some shops in New Thippasandra (a shop called Sri Balaji Novelty Store, and another one called Malleshwar). There is also a good place called Patel's store near Ulsoor police station (opposite to the Girl's college).
    Embossing materials include - Embossing sheets,Tools, Anti Rust Paints, 000 Round brush.
    Thanks for the encouragement.

    Sorry for such a late response. Yes you can use the paint directly. All the best in your new project if you have any doubts feel free to ask :)

    Hi Roshni

    Anxiously waiting to see your work. If you have any doubts do ask me. Once u have embossed do pour some tar on the reverse side. The tar binds the embossing and the embossed part will have the embossed effect forever . If you have any doubts do ask. Usually they use only golden anti rust paint for embossing like the one i did for Shivji but for Shri Ganesha I tried using Glass colors and the effect turned to be really good. Hope I have been of some help

    Cheers
    Maddie

    Hai Maddie...

    I have some doubts...
    At the time of embossing the sheet will start to bend right?
    So what should I do to avoid that....
    One more thing....
    I used glass colors for painting my first picture...
    Just an experiment....
    Then what should I do to get a neat outline?
    I mean at the time of sketching the design....
    I used pen but the result is not good....
    And also for neat outline while coloring the picture.....
    Any special tools?
    Then how we frame it?
    Can we use glass to cover that embossed painting?
    How to use tar?
    Thank u .....

    Cheers,
    Roshni......
