(More customer reviews)You get exactly what they say, 10 hand decorated bird decorations, and they shipped them to me within 3 days (which, as we are currently experiencing a national postal strike, is brilliant). You might think, therefore, that there is nothing more to say...
However, because these decorations are hand painted they obviously differ from those photographed, and quite sensibly, the supplier has, in my opinion, photographed the most beautiful decorations - I got a few ugly ducklings in my batch, but such is life!
Overall, I couldn't find anything as nice anywhere else so they are still very much worth it, especially at the current reduced rate. I must have just missed out on that!

The naqash draws from the reeservoir of patterns and motifs in his memory.

After this, flower, birds and other motifs are painted.Papier mache products for gifts and decoration, handmade by craftsmen of Kashmir in India.

The creation of a papier-mache object can be divided into two distinct categories, the Sakhtsazi (making the object) and the Naqashi (painting the surface). The form is molded using a base shape. This form is made of the pulp of paper, cloth, rice straw and copper sulphate pulp. The form is then coated with gypsum and glue, followed by thin tissue paper. On drying they are rubbed, smoothened and burnished. The form is then given the base color. The colors for painting designs on the surface are obtained by grinding and soaking various vegetable mineral dyes in pigment or stone form. The object is then sandpapered and burnished, and finally painted with several coats of a varnish made of linseed oil and pine resin. Papier-mâché, has become a sophisticated art, with even more attractive results, by using real gold and silver paint and intricate decorations. The final product is a beautiful art work that cannot be called a creation of one artist. It travels many pairs of talented hands before reaching a table or a mantel. The Mughals and the Europeans were the great admirers of this craft.
