This looks more like a bApu bomma (the artist bApu's creation).
Very nice. Regards! - mOhana
JKM this work was copied from a picture - dont know who the original artist is... maybe you are correct...
actually pics are scanned and loaded on the computer, then the opacity of the original is reduced and with the paintbrush or pencil tool we are taught to draw on the image and made to reproduce them on the computer...
this is what i learnt when i studied a course on silk saree designing couple of years ago... only thing is that i have not put it to use earlier... ikolam is bringing out that fire in me again.... thanks to Lata a million times over....
