Pot painting

Innovative handicrafts can be anything depending on your imagination. Today’s I like to tell you few basics on pot painting. All it requires is a 

• pot, 
• few enamel paint,
• glue and gloss (if required- glossy look) and 
• water.

First, you have to color your pot completely with any base fabric color/enamel paint-white/black color. While using enamel colors it is safe not to use paint brushes because the paint brushes become stiff when they dry and cannot be used in future. So here it goes, take a small tub/container and fill it with ¾ quantity of water. Now, spill the enamel colors onto the tub and you’ll observe the colors floating on the water. Now, carefully hold the mouth of the pot and dip it into the enamel filled water tub and twist it around slowly, so that the color it absorbed by the pot all over. Let this dry for 2-4 hours and if you need a glossy look, then you can apply glue and gloss over the colored pot. This type of pot painting has its own unique design as the colors are merged and gives you a vibrant outlook. Beginners can try this pot painting as it is easy and simple.

Tanjore painting are drawn upon episodes of Hindu tradition and are richly painted on a wooden planks referred as "Palagai Padam". The same way it goes for every culture and countries.

So here it goes, handicrafts have lot of benefits to it. An innovative handicraft purely depends on a person’s creativity and skills and this can be gained in a period of time
