Earthen Pot Painting

Pot Painting
Jan 2013 - Bangalore

Earthen pots are always attracted me. I had two  old earthen pot roaming here n there at home. During my pass time I will just go and browse on the net and see some new craft work or any art thing. While browsing I just typed earthen pot painting and saw some beautiful paint done on these pots so I decided to paint one of them, I took the bigger one and painted a base color chrome yellow and made some border line with blue then with red and followed by green and to make it a complete I added one more line of blue color. The pot was looking amazing and look totally changed. Then my creative mind want to do some more painting work and thought what to do next then added some white dots on it.

My one pot was done and was looking good but it was alone, so I painting the other pot in the same way as painted the bigger one and look how amazing they are looking together.

Interesting thing was when I showed these pots to my elder sister she was asked then to gift her. I am in Bangalore and she is in Delhi and I was traveling to Delhi this time by air. How to carry them in luggage was a big problem. Then I packed them very nicely with bubble wrap and place them in center of my suitcase and luckily they reached safely. When I gifted then to my sis she was very happy to see them. She then placed them nicely in her drawing room.
