    Dear Nitya,

    On the cloth coverd wood sheet I gave three coats of the clay and I allowed one full days time to dry for each coat. After each coat I did the sand papering over that the next day and applied the second coat. I heard that somebody in chennai taught to apply the paste made by grinding the soaked tamarind seeds. In such cases definitely the fungus will come after some time. Mine is the same even now. Gold sheets I took the approximate measurements of each part and applied arrabic gum to paste it over the clay projections. the extra things I scrubbed with a long flat tipped knife. Yes , 100% patience is needed for the good finishing. Thanks for the interest shown dear.

    Hi Leela,

    Yes. It is little expensive work. Once you learnt, you can buy things and do on your own which will come around one third compared to the tutorial ones. But very labour oriented work. I got the materials from chennai and did. Feel great that you liked my work. thanks dear.
