Start Making a classic wall decor using Lippan Art materials

Let's organize the necessary materials on the table:

• Pre Marked MDF Base Mandala
• Pidilite Mouldit Clay
• Lippan art Mirror Kit
• acrylic colors: Aqua, white, black and golden.
• Painting brushes
• Papericious Gesso
• Chalk paint colors
• White glue for mirrors and clay patterns
• Sculpting Tools for Clay Shaping

Now let us move towards the painting process:

1. Shop the MDF Mandala Base

Papericious offers complete sanded and smooth MDF bases which are easy to work with. You just have to clean the surface with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris.

2. Start Base coat with Gesso

No more waiting. Apply the first coat of Gesso on the base and leave it to dry completely. The pre-marked design will still be visible lightly. Don't apply the second coat. It may cover the marked mandala design.

3. Prepare the clay.

Mix both the epoxy and the hardener in 1:1 proportion till it blends completely with each other. Roll little pieces of air-dry clay into thin coils or mold them on the pre marked design. Fix it using glue. Create textures and details using clay to add dimension to your artwork. Before continuing, let the clay dry completely.

4. Paint the base

Now, paint the entire base with the Aqua color. Once the color settles on the board, paint the outer space of the floral design with black color. Finally give the exotic touch with golden color on the clay coils.

Wait till the paint dries completely.

5. Time to Install Craft Mirrors

Place each craft mirror in the clay designs with a little white glue on the back. Mirrors should be well-spaced and secure. Due to its reflective nature, lippan art requires precise mirror placement to get the desired effect.

6. Detail Painting (optional)

After setting the mirrors and clay, paint the delicate pattern elements. This is completely optional but it gives a more enhancing look to the lippan art. Use the backside of the brush with golden acrylic paint colors to add mandala dots in empty spaces near the mirror. Traditional Lippan art uses contrasting colors to emphasize designs. Highlights and shadows lend dimension to your artwork.

7. Don't forget Varnish

Finally, all the work is complete. Now let it dry. Then apply the varnish to protect and finish your artwork.

Papericious MDF bases come with separate hooks to install. Attach hooks to the MDF base back to display Lippan art. A prominent wall in your home will let light capture the mirrors and enhance their reflecting splendor. Multiple Lippan works can create a magnificent gallery wall.
