Art conglomeration : Name plate making
As part of hobby classes conducted at our office premises - this time I made an attempt at name plate making.
I always thought it to be a tedious task - but it is so much fun to do it. It is playing with your creativity and the shapes your hands can work up to.
This is my first attempt at name plate making.
Materials required:
Within this time frame of 90 minutes - you can give various shapes to the dough. You might need little hands on - but with little practice it will be just fine.
After the initial design has been setup on the MDF board - allow it to dry for around 2-3 hours. In this time frame, you can alter as much you can, but once the Shilpkar dries you can make any amends to your design.
With the passing of 2-3 hours,apply the desired acrylic colors.
For dabbing you can use sponge - which gives easy accessibility over the small area to be covered.
Once colors have been applied, let it rest over-night and there you are ready with the first nameplate of your choice!
The last step to retain the longevity and the shine, is to coat it with varnish. This acts like a protective layer over the designs.

I always thought it to be a tedious task - but it is so much fun to do it. It is playing with your creativity and the shapes your hands can work up to.
This is my first attempt at name plate making.
Materials required:
- MDF board coated with a base paint
- Fevicryl Shilpkar - 2 packets(50 gm each)
- A piece of sponge
- Fevicryl acrylic colors
- Camel Poster colors
- Varnish
- Paint brushes - of various sizes
- Fevicol
- Color pallet
The shilpkar has two packets in it - whenever you start preparing the dough, you have to take equal proportions of both of them and mix them well. See in the pictures below. You can put little talcum powder on your hands - so that the mix does not stick to your hands. This mix takes almost 90 minutes to form. The mix should become white in color, and after that you can start using it to give it shapes.
When you stick the Shilpkar to the MDF board, use Fevicol to stick it to the board.The mix will stick without it - but just to be extra sure.
