जंगल में मोर नाचा किसने देखा........मैंने देखा ।
Some of us have rare occassions to watch the peacock dancing on the roof s and in the fields of the villages after harvest season. I thought about a replica of peacock should take place in my house.
I started thinking the image of a dancing peacock , which has been made from the following unused waste items:- i. aqua guard candle ii. broom grass stick( Jharoo) iii. newspapers iv.soft iron wire v. card sheet vi.glue vii. white and yellow pearl colors black, white , light brown febicryl colors viii cardboard roll.
Waste candle was completely wrapped with newspapers giving the shape of body by twisting and moulding in such a`way that it looked like lower part the body. A small 6" piece of a cardboard roll l was fixed on the top of candle with the help of adhesive tape. On the upper portion of the roll , a small ball to form head was fixed . Tree wires(1" size) were fitted on head . Small feathers were also made from card sheet so as to like Kalangi and fixed with glue. Both legs were made from soft iron wire.
Most important and typical item was to prepare its feathers. Many oval shaped figures of different sizes were made from the card sheet and cut them cleanly. The brushes of the broom were spread away and pasted over one side of oval round and left it to dry. Thereafer, rear part of broom sticks were devided in two parts from upper to bottom side, pasted on the dried oval and another oval shaped card sheet pasted over it. This procedure applied in preparing good numbers of peacock's feathers. .It took about 15 days to make feathers. Subsequently, with the help of scissors ,the toe of each feather was given a nice shape. The completed feathers were fixed on the back of the peacock in dancing pose. The beak and eyes were also made from card sheet.The whole structure was allowed to dry for 3-4 days. White, yellow pearl colors were used to paint it. Eyes and beak were painted with matching colors.
