Making of Ambal- Varalakshmi Nombu special

Hellooo Friends!!!!!

I did not even thought of I will make such a post in my blogging..

But, I wanted to make a speacial Pooja this time. I was breaking my head. I had nothing in my hand.

Then my friend http://www.indusladies.com/forums/members/priesh-17327.html from IL, helped me. Thank you soo much dear darling.. She bought a ambal face and sent me through courier. I was surprised and fell in love with the Beautiful Ambal.

So I wanted to make her sooo beautiful. Then i searched a lot and lot in google and in other blogs. Many made beautiful Ambal but there was no mentioning about procedure.

So I decided to make one, so that i can help the people who are searching like me.

It is authendic to have all made up of copper or brass what ever related to pooja. Even try to serve Neivedhyam during pooja in brass/copper vessels. If you dont have one you can serve in glass vessels or in babana leaf.

As I dont have a copper/ brass pot (Sombu or Kodam) I went for urchasing it. The size or the shape did not convince me. But i have no choice, so I bought the one which is reasonable.

Now in the process of maing hands for Amabal.

Needed:
1. Iron wire- 25 to 30 cms- 2 nos.
2. New scrap cloths (i used the scrap cloths i get by my sewing salwars, you can get it from nearby your tailoring shop on free of cost)
3. Thread
4. Card or think cardboard
5. Acrylic Paints
6. Celotape

At first just cover the wire with the scrap cloth and tie with the thread..
Continue the same process untill the wire gets a convincing shape.
Take skin color cloth and matching thread continue the same process (this is the last)

 

After making this, keep this aside and now make fingers for ambal.

I just drew in a thin cardboard and painted with acrylic colors. You can do the same or you can cut it from old calenders and anything and make it matching with your ambal size.

I tied the made hand with the help of another wire. Tieing it with the help of thread was not strong so i did it with the wire.

I just stuck the fingers at the wire in the end by celotape (fold the wire and make it round then stick the fingers)

(the white thread in the center of pot is nothing a simple thread which i am going to use to tie the saree)



Here the Ambal.



Now tie saree for her. To make it easy, Fold the saree (horizontally) and stapler it for the convenience. It is easy to tie saree. I tried it and finished in 15 minutes.

May Ambal bless you with all that you need. Happy Nombu to all ladies.
