Came over from Shruti’s. You have a great place here. Totally loved the dragon.. it’s soooo intricate. Did you use paints??? You think I can do it with sketch pens? Am dying to make one for my son.

UTBT SAYS: Thanks for visiting. I used fine tip markers. All my art work has been devoid of real paints as I never know when I have to clean up in a moment’s notice. Guess markers must work well too, as long as the tip is fine.

Oh, by the way – on warli art. I got D started with a music class(more like bhajans class and she is already killing everyone in the house with non-musical years with her Ganapathi Ganapathi and guru brahmha.. ) . Anyhoo – her music teacher’s house – she has a whole wall at the entrance with a purple background and warli art. Simply beautiful.

UTBT SAYS: D in music class? OMG, I need to hear her sing.

Fantabulous! I’ll go with Poppy, thanks to blogging, people like us can educate ourselves at least to the extent to be able to expose the little creative minds to the resources.

UTBT SAYS: I am furtively copying your crossword idea DDMom. That that person that that creative talent.

This is awesome.. the warli cows are too cute! They should draw them on t-shirts, you know!

UTBT SAYS: Hmmmm, not a bad idea. Okay friends and family, expect warli t-shirts as gifts.

Did you do the antler with tree-like horns? Awesome, that one.

The warli figures by kids are super cute.

UTBT SAYS: No, no, no, no….. Just the dragon face.
The deer is a Gond that came with the book. Chula is using it as a reference to do her dragon’s horns.
Warli is getting real close to my heart. It is so simple for kids to recreate!
