Stone art


 
I got a Ganesh Idol carved from stone as a birthday gift. Every day when i see it i would be thinking how they could have carved this statue so intricately in such a black stone( karungal used for building construction) This was a million dollar question for me for almost 4 years. One day i saw a sandal color Ganesh idol sold in a shop which was exactly the same as the one i have at home. So i confirmed it was not carving on stone ,but has been cleverly pasted and painted together.  I liked this technique and tried with few idols below using gold and silver dust as final touch.
