Black sun design


Process for the black sun design:
Materials reqired:
1.       Black tinted paper- Rs.12
2.       Fevicol tube-            Rs. 40
3.       Acrylic colours yellow and orange- Rs. 36
4.       Cardboard-              Rs. 20

 Total- Rs.106
Process:
1.       Take the black paper, paste it on a cardboard which will give it a thicker look while hanging it/ pasting it on the wall.
2.       Take the black paper, draw a big enough circle as per your wish. Use a geometric compass to make the circle.
3.       Use a pencil to draw the flaming rays of the sun outlining the circle.
4.       Make rays of differing sizes and lengths.
5.       Take the fevicol tube, open it. Add a few drops of yellow acrylic colour and orange colour in it.
6.       Otherwise, just add yellow drops in the bottle and add organge drops in the cap of the tube.
7.       Carefully, from the centre of the circle, start drawing concentric circles continuously from the fevicol tube.
8.       If there are some droplets from the nozzle dropping on the paper when you start again, its ok, don’t worry about it. It will add to the design.
9.       When you see the colour reducing and only the ‘whiteness’ of the fevicol showing, open the bottle and add a few drops of colour again.
10.   You can accentuate the colours again by drawing the circles on top of the earlier ones, giving it a denser look in some areas of the circle.
11.   Be careful that you don’t touch the design drawn on the paper.
12.   Now draw the rays in the same way.
13.   After the design dries, cut it.
14.   The design is now ready.
15.   Now you can hang it/ paste it on the wall behind your Ganesha.
