Maangai (Mango)

Leaving your home town makes you miss many things dearly.

Like the fragrance from a bundle of jasmine flowers.
Like the crisply folded silk saris that fill up your closet space
Like the crowded bazaar with brightly colored bangles and savvy business boys vying to get your attention!

What I miss most is nominally priced beautiful & intricate ethnic art, furniture, curtains & carpets ! 

Something to make my home mimic a memory that grows stronger as time passes me by. So, I made up my mind. To source what I need and make the rest myself!

Here's the first of many to come. 



The evergreen maangai design in my most favorite colors. Easy to do 3 part canvas wall art.

What you need

Stencil (design of your choice)
Acrylic paint
Canvas (pre frames)
Brush & Sponge

Paint over the canvas in a color of your choice. Mix colors if you prefer. Air Dry, and then place stencil on top. Use sponge / brush to paint the stencil design using an acrylic color that contrasts with the base you chose for the canvas.

Get creative & design as you please. Air Dry, and voila! You are done.
