By Rachana Agarwal(15+ Years Folk Practice)
Hand-molded from natural terracotta clay and kiln-fired using traditional slow wood smoke. The centerpiece pendant depicts an ancient folk sun motif, suspended on an adjustable braided organic cotton cord with hand-rolled natural clay beads.
Unlike mass manufactured wall décor or modern chemical acrylics on canvas, this artwork begins with the organic alchemy of the soil. In the ancestral villages of Western India, mud and cow-dung plastering is not considered humble; it is sacred. The surface acts as a natural purifier and spiritual canvas that connects daily existence with the cosmic cycle.
Raw cow dung and clay are triple-strained and sun-cured over 7 days, eliminating all moisture and organic scent, leaving a clean, odorless earthy surface.
Using carved bamboo reeds, Rachana applies microscopic strokes of rice flour paste mixed with acacia gum, creating textured geometric rhythms.
A breathable organic beeswax and plant-gum sealant is hand-buffed to lock in the pigment without creating an artificial plastic sheen.
Each rigid MDF board is packed with corner shock-guards, moisture barrier wrap, and custom crating for safe international transit.
Your Craftchirp piece is cured for longevity. To preserve the vibrant mineral pigments and organic mud texture for generations:
