Idol of Sri Rama in Quilling- Jai Shree Ram

 Hi friends,

Let's seek Sri Rama's blessings. I feel so blessed to complete the Idol of Sri Rama. 

Jai Shri Ram

          It was a great feeling to make this happen. I studied in depth many images of Lord Sri Ram to choose on body colour, facial attributes, including his bow (Kodanda), Finally I was able to visualize the image in my mind and based on that I ordered the quilling strips of various sizes & colours.

I started making the face of the idol first as it was most difficult and time consuming, including hairs from the quilling strips, next I designed the crown of the lord and attached it to the face. The middle torso and the legs, hands, lastly added the palms and foot of the lord.

It took really good time to design the Bow (Kodanda) when decided to use only quilling strips yet make it sturdy finally I was able to get the right shape and strength, followed by Quiver and arrows. 

Finally I made the garland for the Lord. Drawing the facial features was a challenging part.
