Diva's Weekly Challenge # 257 - Ooo Shiny!

Hiya Folks!!!

First off a huge thank you to all who commented and saw my last blog post.... You guys make my day!!! :)

Yes, I have been away for a few weeks. I was sick for awhile and then I attended a workshop on a traditional art form of South India called Kerala Mural Painting. 

A little bit about the art form - Its a Mural art form where pictures of a religious nature are depicted on Temple Walls. Its a very old form of art which is now regaining its grandeur and elegance. For a very long time it was a dying art form. This is specific to the Southern State of India called Kerala. Other States also have their own form of traditional art.

In the coming weeks I will be compiling all that I learnt in this workshop and post here so that if any of you would like to attempt it, the info will be helpful....:)

Here below is the canvas I painted. It is roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper. The traditional form is painted using natural pigments but here I have used Acrylic Paints. This is the form of a God named Krishna.....:)



And now here is my entry for the weeks challenge - Ive used a new pattern called DILLO. I tried using a lil bling using sparkly pen but sadly it doesnt show well on this image....



I hope you guys like it...:) 

Have a great day folks! Much Love.... Muah
