Yes again Stencil Art, but this time we'll learn Stencil painiting. Yes a bit different to earlier one (Stencil Making).
Materials:
*The same that is needed for stencil making*
1. Colours
2. Dry brush (Thick one)
In stencil painting the only difference is u should cut the stencil design in card paper instead of felt cloth. Once you are done with stencil cutting on card paper use any material u would like to paint, for eg: hard paper, felt cloth, cotton cloth, wall, glass etc.. Place the stencil design over the material and apply colour using dry brush on the surface of material (inside the stencil) or even otside the stencil design if you need some more difference in design.
Here is a sample design to show you how it looks.This is made by making a simple flower design and by following the above instructions.
Why only dry brush?
This is because if water is applied on the colour or brush there are chances the colour may spread around. So be careful to use only dry brush.
Now this is about normal brush when you need to paint inside the sencil, you can even try using diff materials for colouring the material with stencil.
Different tools you can try with:
1. Cotton (while using cotton just dip the cotton in the colour and dab it on the stencil the design will be on the material of its own)
2. Sponge
3. Toothbrush (spray it all over the stencil design)
Try this out using all these tools and see the results.
Here is a stencil painintg for you.
Stenciling is one of the oldest and easiest decorative painting techniques. You can use stencil painting to decorate your walls, windows, doors and on. Anyone can make a stencil. This session i'll teach you Stencil Making.
Will start first with Stencil making without the help of any colours.
Materials used:
1. Thin cardboard (card paper)
2. Hardboard (preferably white cloth)
3. Trace paper
4. Scissors
5. Dark HB pencil

2. Now apply fevicol on the hardboard and paste the cutout design over the hardboard.
You will need lot of patience to do this, but the result that comes will be really amazing.
Here is a beautiful Stencil making.
Beads work - this is very much similar to Zardosi work.
The materials used for bead work is same except the difference that we needs only beads for making this. We wont use any thred or sequences.
While making Zardosi we apply fevicol only on outlines and here we have to fill the beads all over the design and cover it completely.
Here is how the beautiful Bead work looks like.
The Mughal Era in India brought richness to textiles and costumes by doing the Ari work or Zardosi work. Satin is known as Zardosi. Zardosi work is done by laying the color threads mostly gold threads over the material and giving a rich feel to Sarees and dresses.
They are always seen with a chain stitch , which is easily done with a zardosi needle and golden or silver colored threads.
This is all about Zardosi work on Sarees and Dresses, but today we will learn how to make a wall hangining out of Zardosi Materials.
Materials :
1. Felt Cloth
2. Design you wish to make
3. Trace Paper
4. Fevicol
5. Sequens and beads required for the design
6. Trace Paper
7. Hard board
How to start work:
1. Fisrtly trace the design on the felt cloth and apply fevicol on the outlines of the design.
*Remember* ONLY OUTLINES
2 Now paste the required sequences threads and beads whatever materials required for the design on the fevicol and a beautiful Zardosi Work is ready to frame.
You can add more of beads and threads to make the design bright and colourful.
Here is a dancing peacock made of Zardosi Work.
We will start with something interesting and simple to do. We'll learn how to make Cross Stitch Designs. Cross Stitch kit is easily available in all stores with the materials needed for making it. On the cross stitch design is printed on the fabric to follow. But there are cases where the fabric is blank and there will be a chart with instructions to put the stitches.
The chart is divided into grid of squares. Each colour is represented by a symbol, and there is a "colour key" which shows you which symbol represents each colour.
Assume that the symbol for Red is 'a' and the symbol for Yellow is 'b'. If you see a line of 8 squares on the chart containing the symbols 'aaaaabbb', you should make 5 stitches in Red and 3 stitches in Yellow.
Cotton threads are used for doing cross stitch. Cotton threads are made up of six strands. Separate these out into the correct number of strands (as indicated on the instructions in the kit) for stitching.
1. The fabric contains blocks with a hole at the corners of each block which is easy to work. To make one cross stitch, bring the needle up through hole 1, down through hole 2, then up through hole 3, and finally down through hole 4.
The below image will give you a proper idea of how the stitch looks.
This is the main and basic stitch used for making cross stitch design.
There are more types of stitches which you can try out while you practise making a Cross Stitch.In this way you can complete the design using different colours of threads making the design more beautiful.
Here is how it looks.
Fabric Painting is basically for any layman. Go creative by getting some colours and brush or any tool that you would like to try.

A new creativity to show you all. This is Solawood Flower Making. Solawood is Tapioca peel, used for craft purposes. We are making a flower basket, with very attractive solawood flowers. Its totally a different kind of Art, Tapioca peel is something that we just throw away without thinking that something creative can be made out of it. Solawood is available to all art stores.
Materials Used:
1. Solawood - about 20 rolls
2. Thermocol - 1/2 meter
3. Hard Board -2 1/2 meters
4. Cloth - Cotton/Felt
5. Glue
6. Scissors
7. Carbon
8. Cutter
How to make:
Draw a basket on the thermocol and cut the basket shape using cutter. Remove all the chipped out portions.
Now your basket on thermocol is ready.
Take a hard board. Cover it with the black velvet/felt cloth. Your hard board should be of appropriate size, so that your thermocol basket can be properly stuck to the board. Now paste the thermocol basket on the hardboard.
Make a ‘weaving’ design on the thermocol basket with solawood.
Basket Making :
1. Cut the sola wood into strips of even length and width of approximately 1-2cm x 1-2cm. Each piece can be stuck on the design of the basket lengthwise and breadth wise.
2. You can also make a different design. Take two solawood strips and weave into plaits as you plait your hair. Make enough plaits to cover the basket. Take each plait and fix them horizontally on the basket
Flower Making:-
Cut the solawood in the shape of petals. Cut the petals of 3 different sizes approximately 200 -300 in nos.
Take a small petal. Roll it and paste each petal one by one as of making flower. Try not to tie the solawood as you do while making flowers of cloth or paper, since solawood is a fragile material. Arrange 5-7 petals around it and each petal should be pasted with fevicol.Make around 50-60 flowers of different sizes. Also cut solawood into leaf shapes, make around 30-40 leaves.
How to Arrange the Flowers:
Paste the flowers and leaves on the top portion using glue, just above the basket.
Arrange the flowers in such a way that it should look as if the flowers are arranged from inside the basket.
*To make it more attractive you can also add colour to basket and flowers as per required.*

Firstly stick the felt on the hard board using glue. Then use white carbon paper to trace the design on the felt. Apply paint on the design as required.
Make sure you always start painting from top so that your hand can be moved easily downwards. Also make sure hand should be moved evenly for the real look.
You should decide on the color scheme. Usually floral designs and scenery go well with Nib painting. Select the shades as per the design and if you mix two colors to get the double shade combination it will look really good.
You can also take the paint on the nib and press it against the surface to create the design.
If a round design is required use the nib with a round tip. Wherever you need small sharp lines you can use a short pointed-tip nib. Long tip nib is used to draw the lines.
It may take 2-3 days or more to finish off with a good design.
The design will dry off very slowly. It might take ten days or more as consistency of the paint is very thick.
The felt can get dirty but can be easily removed with thick dry brush or a tooth brush.
This painting looks really beautiful after it is completed, but need lot of patience as it is time consuming.
Floral designs are very common among Nib Painting.

How to make Rim Zim painting?
Firstly trace the design on the cloth using black marker pen (thin marker).
Apply fevicol all over the white cloth and spread the sparkle powder over the fevicol and allow it to dry completely.
