Quilling Ardhanarishvara Idol

 Hi Friends ,

Quilling Ardhanarishvara


      The Ardhanarishvara is a form of the Hindu deity Shiva combined with his consort Parvati. Ardhanarishvara is depicted as half-male and half-female, equally split down the middle. I have tried to make Ardhanarishvara  idol in Quilling . 

The Main doll making procedure is the same like other dolls. Only a few changes which I will show. I have taken a few pictures while making . Let me share them. 

For the face I have made a tight coil ( skin colour ) 5 mm strips. I have painted half coil in blue colour as shown. 



Same way for the body. 

For the lower body , you can refer the following steps.

To get the details of the number of strips to be used , you can refer to may earlier posts.

For the crown and head also , I have made part using gold colour and the other half black colour. 

You can refer to may earlier posts for making hands , legs , palm and other body parts.

I enjoyed making this idol. It was a challenge making it. 

I hope you all like it.
