Chitra Santhe 2025 |
I got a wonderful opportunity to exhibit my Quilling dolls at Chitra Santhe 2025 exhibition. When I got the confirmation about my selection at Chitra Santhe , I was overjoyed and excited. I had started to prepare for it around 2 months back. This time I had made many variety of art items and dolls.

The fabric doll is very different form Quilling doll . Here the face is readymade. And the body you need to stitch using cloth. All the parts of the doll has to be stitched to one another and to give strength to the doll you have to used wire. You can decorate the doll as per your wish using necklace , kundans , mirrors etc.. Very excited to make another doll .
