The basic structure is made using steel wires to give it a shape
of desired animal and size. The size could be anywhere between 6"
to-60" tall. |
Now, water colors are used to give these finished sculptures the
desired color. After color application a coat of wax polish is
applied to buff the sculptures and give them the shine they
deserve. |
|
Now the paper pulp is applied to this basic structure using
adhesive made of tamarind seeds. It is then dried in the sun or
with the help of electric heaters till the sculpture is completely
moisture-free. A nicely dried sculpture is less likely to catch
fungus. |
The sculptures are almost ready
to dazzle your eyes. As a final step, these wonderful designs are
complemented with accessories like leather saddle, brass knuckles
etc. as per specific designs. With this step, manufacturing part
is over and the sculptures are ready.

As a third step, the leather is mounted on this structure. This
leather is usually a goat or sheep leather boiled with various
tree barks for proper conditioning. This is the most crucial step
during the whole process and tests the real workmanship of our
craftsmen. |
The final
product has yet to go through an exhaustive quality check to
ensure the highest standards of quality. Each design passes
through the experienced eyes of our quality control staff as they
ensure that we live up to our word on quality. Yes, now they are
ready. Phew! |
