Description :

Krishna has so many forms and each of this form is adorable. Here is a fusion art of Bala Gopal with Lippan and isn’t it just so pretty!

STEP 1 : Make the design
  • We are going to make the canvas with lippan art design around the bal krishna using Mouldit, mirrors, colours and Fabric Glue.
  • Take A3 white paper, draw the design of lippan art with Balkrishna in the centre in the size of the canvas.
  • Take plain 12” x 16” canvas board, trace the same design on it with yellow carbon paper.
  • Refer to the image.
STEP 2 : Mix Fevicryl Mouldit
  • Take the Mouldit resin base and hardener, mix it thoroughly to make even dough.
STEP 3 : Embed the mirrors in Mouldit
  • Take the dough, make small balls out of it, embed the round diamond and triangular shaped mirrors in the clay further to stick on the lippan art design.
  • Keep it aside for drying.
STEP 4 : Cut out the Krishna from Mouldit slab
  • Similarly take some dough, roll it to make the slab, draw the outline drawing of Balkrishna on it and cut the outline properly of the design with a paper cutter.
  • Refer to the image.
STEP 5 : Make the Lippan Art border
  • Paint the canvas with Acrylic Colours Chrome Yellow03, White 27, Cerulean Blue 32, Sky Blue 63 Neon Orange 017 and Neon Pink 018.
  • Let it dry.
  • Start sticking the round, triangular and diamond shaped mirror by following the design along with the square and small round mirrors using Fabric Glue.
  • Let it dry completely.
  • Your final canvas with lippan art work will look like this.
STEP 6 : Assembly.
  • Take some clay to make the jewellery of Krishna, the pot of the butter and the bansuri.
  • Stick the figure with jewellery, butter pot, and the bansuri in the centre of the lippan art work canvas using Fabric Glue.
