Exploring mediums







One of our main aspects of this innovation was to explore different mediums the mehndi artists could use using the same technique of the cone. So we experimented with using these mediums on different objects. We used ceramic paste on a clay pot and it worked. We used 3D paint on a metallic alarm clock and and on a leather laptop bag and that worked too.
We made a rice resist to try it on clothes but that did not work out. But fabric paints worked through a cone.
We also used ceramic powder and 3D paint on paper envelopes.
OUR FINAL BRIEF

To enhance the livelihood of a mehndi artist by using her skill on other objects and products ,or creating her own ,or customising other people’s products .
