30th Oct & 1st Nov '10- 2 women

Was trying to make some figures more girly or womanly so tried a few options. Highlighted  jewelry in one to show shes a woman? and the other a plait to show she has longer hair. Still trying to make the women more beautiful.

16th September- Tarpaulin Tuban

Today I tried doing just the turban drawing on the tarpaulin with masking tape. It was very difficult to figure the lines after the masking tape was stuck. Filled a whole tube around the turban with bindis! It took 4 hours just to do that! To remove the protective part of the bindi so it can stick. Felt like a worker at a bindi factory. I wasn't that excited about the outcome but lets see.

15th Sept '10- Tarpaulin Trials

Its the rainy season and if you look pretty much anywhere in bombay you see blue plasticy rubbery material called tarpaulin. It keeps the water out and its cheap so the janta uses it. Ive been wanting to work with tarpaulin for awhile. So I bought some and tried something with it. Its a tricky material to use coz it has this plasticy surface so cant draw on it easily, felt pen doesnt stay, everything goes off. So i tried using pieces of masking tape and i liked the blue and white feel. I also tried the yellow and red tape but that dint work coz you can see the blue throught it. Anyway this is the beginning. Gonna try more sooon!
