    Dear Friends
    Thanks for your encouraging comments....
    The procedure is as follows

    1. I used a card board (a old wedding card will do but make it thick by gluing the cards into one thick one
    2. I made salt dough by mixing in approx 3/4 cup wheatflour( :hide: usually maida is used) with 1/2 cup salt a spoon of oil and water as required and needed to chapathi dough consistency and i kneaded it till it got shiny gloss
    3 then i made thick round disk the size of lotus flower .. then stuck it to card board with a bit of fevicol
    4 then i started sticking the pista shells from inner to outer later i made bud but you can make full blossomed one by sticking the shell in circle... (i leave this part to your imagination)
    5 allow it to dry
    6 paint as per your imagination with acrylic paints this part needs lot of patience...

    Note: I learnt from net you can wash the shells before hand with warm water and dry it before using so that painting will be easy)

    Thank You ladies:thumbsup
