Painting of the Parrot
 
  • Printer-friendly version

Once the toys are cut out of wood, they are sent to the painters. Rajkumar Prajapati, who lives around three kilometres away, does the job of painting. Almost all the members of family participate in this activity. Raju Prajapati is the one who holds the responsibility of getting the assignments and assuring the delivery in time.

While others members of Raju’s family, which includes his father, mother, brother and his wife and children, contribute to the painting job as per their skill level and time.

The process of painting involves applying primer, the base coat. Filing with sand paper and then applying paint, once or twice, as per the requirement and then leaving them for drying in sun. Once the paint dries, varnish is applied to preserve the paint and to give a shiny and smooth surface to the toy.

They also actively participate in toy making competitions where they demonstrate their extreme skills by making complex figures like wooden sculptures of Gods and Goddesses smaller than two inches in height.
