    After receiving inspiration from our fellow Ilite friends....we made Ganeshji and also the Chathreee (umbrella). Attached are the pics.

    Used Crayola air dry clay...and observed that it does dissolve in water...and moreover it was easy to carve the idol quickly...but leave the idol for couple of days so that it dries out and will be ready for coloring it. (I am still questionin gmyself whether we would want to color it or not....may be a slight color here n there but not really the entire idol...thats the plan)

    Umbrella is made out from cardboard pieces. Bought the smalll bells from Hobby Lobby (christmas decor aisle)...bamboo stick is also found in hobby lobby or homedepot or any garden store...Glittering /shining paper is found in the speciality paper aisle.

    Thanks to all of you for giving me the ideas....may Ganeshji bless all of us.

    Nice job Sri :) If I may, do you think you can make a base out of the same crayola dough and stick the bamboo stick of the umbrella to it? just a thought - hope you do not mind. I am with you coloring , the face, crown and some clothes will make it all lok so beautiful!

    Loved it :thumbsup Happy Ganesh Chathurthi!!

    Your Ganesha looks very cute and you have done a great job in crafting Him. Your Ganesha's Meenjoor too looks very cute.
    Happy Ganesha Chaturthi, Vidya.
