Basic Sculpture Making:The basic structure is made using steel wires to give it a shape of desired animal and size. The size could be anywhere between 4" to-24" tall.2. Applying Paper Pulp:
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. 3. Mounting Leather : 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.
