Queries on ceramic mural art materials

My ceramic mural is still my favorite and i guess all my visitors favorite too.
I'm getting lot of mails and comments for my Ceramic mural work.

Now, I have received similar kind of comments and mails asking for what exactly is whitening powder and DINK and where are these materials available.

1. About whitening powder its easily available in hardware stores. As for just normal Whitening powder. You can also use ceramic powder as a substitute instead of whitening powder.

2. About DINK i have mentioned in details about what is DINK in my post on Making Ceramic Mural Art - African Mask. I know this name as DINK, this is proper Indian name.

You can get Dink easily available in Grocery stores. If anyone gets it and has a different name for DINK please do let me know.
So that I'll be sharing it with everyone .

I hope everyone is clear about whitening powder and DINK.

Thank uou. :)

Making Ceramic Flowers Photo Frame

Hi friends, I hope you are all not bored of reading my Ceramic posts on daily basis. Anyways here is one more of my work with Ceramic material.

This time the materials and method are all the same itself. The only difference is its made on a photo frame.

Yes a nice little photo frame for anyone you would like to gift.
This was a plane wooden photo frame beautifully decorated with ceramic made Casa Lilly flowers and some uncut stones.

The procedure to make ceramic dough viewed here Making Ceramic Mural Art - African Mask.

This dough can be kept for long time if its maintained properly by binding it in wet cloth.

So here is the photo frame made by me. This was a gift again.

So friends how is the work? Ceramic work is always something new when its done on new materials. :)

This is Casa Lilly flowers made of Ceramic dough. Was i quite simple work but looked very elegant.

How to do Ceramic work on Cup?

Here after a long time doing something on ceramic. I was just wondering on what should be the next things I'll be doing. As I'm making a Ceramic mural which is quite exciting for me as I'm doing it or the first time i thought of having a small ceramic work somewhere else too. So this time its a cup a normal looking plane cup.

I have done this ceramic work on cup which turned out amazingly too good.

This time ceramic does not have fevicol and all for mixing i used DINK. It is edible gum crystals are available in small pieces especially meant for eating after being cooked. It has 2 colour one clean white and brown. The brownish variety is basically used for adhesive purpose.

You need to get 1kg of DINK grind it properly and make fine powder out of it. Now soak the powder in water. The water level and DINK powder level should be same, now check out the next day and you can find it sticky and highly adhesive.

Materials used:

1. Whitening powder
2. DINK adhesive
3. Fevocil (White Glue)

How to make the dough:

1. Firstly take some amount of DINK and add 2tbsp of Fevicol (white glue)according to that add the same proportion of Whitening powder.

2. Mix all the three together nicely and make a dough. Proper soft dough.

3. To keep this dough last longer you need to keep it covered in a wet cloth inside an Air tight container.

4. Now take the required dough and make any shapes and designs you need and use it on any surface and make a beautiful looking ceramic work.

Here is the one i made on the cup. Ceramic flowers on the cup.

How is it? Comments please:)
