    Hello,
    Like i shared in a couple of posts here, am currently in Germany and was very enthusiastic about making an idol on my own. I had no access to clay (had tried last year too) and thanks to my Mother's idea, I have been able to make Ganesha idol out of wheat dough and have been able to enjoy the festivities being so far far away from home.

    I made it with the normal wheat dough, sun dry it for 1-2 days and paint it with water colors. This year the finish wasn't as smooth as last year, but still it took shape and stayed so. The only issue with this is that the dough sinks when getting set, so the shape isn't as sharp as when initially made.....however done....I guess its the satisfaction that's matter. It gives me immense pleasure to have had a chance to make an idol of my own and worship.
    Sharing pictures of my attempts in the past 2years. Your feedback are welcome and always valued!!

    Wishing all my friends here a very joyous festival!!
