Trying Something Different- 731

              Trying Something Different 

Time is an entity which fortunately with Gods Blessings I have in plenty . What I do not however have with any degree of comfort is a  Artistic bent of mind . 

In fact Dubey Sir , wielding the much dreaded Stick for a none too impressive Amoeba on the Classroom Blackboard way back in my 5 th Standard at the  Bhilai School comes to mind in a flash .

While packing the Clay  Idols after the recently concluded Golu and Navaraatri Celebrations,  I noticed that most  of them were badly damaged due to the wear and tear and chipping off of the paint at many places . Many of the Idols were even older than me and had been passed on in the family hierarchy .

Despite being a novice,  I decided to try my hand at Repainting the Clay Dolls . 

A search in the Net provided a lot of useful information.  I learnt that  Acrylic Paints were the Best for Clay Dolls .  I got the same from Amazon  Online . This came  with an Array of 24 Assorted Shades of 15 ML Tubes accompanied with 6 Brushes for Rs 960 / - .

It was  indeed a huge  task to hold the brushes without shaking and painting the Idols . The facial features  was all the more Challenging.  Being a 74 Year old person, I found it  all the more difficult .

I leave it for you to judge as to HOW GOOD OR BAD MY EFFORT WAS .
