I don't know why this is called Vasthu mural.
May be because of the swastik, om, kalasam and lakshmi padams are present here.
What ever the name may be I found very interested in doing this mural. This is a wall hanger.
Used with M.Seal

This was made out of beads. We can use colourful beads for this. We can also frame this.
This simple embroidery is done with silver and copper decorative thread. Stitch used is filling stitch. Can also be done in machine easily, or ordered to be done from professional artists. Decorate with tilak shaped stone glued or can stitch them, there will be holes for it on the stone. Follow design pattern same as for painting on sarees.
This is Dry Coconut Engraving,
procedure: Draw a design on the dry coconut either using pencil or any other marker.
By using small knife or blade peel the required design...you may refer the picture below. In karnataka weddings this kopparai is exchanged between bridge & groom.
Since I wasn't allowed to go near the oven in the kitchen, I sent my monkey to check if the cookies were ready!
Done on a Plate ,can be moved easily, also can be used as an arthi plate.
This is done using wool. This can also be taken up and place where we require.
