Mysore :

Colourful miniature and medicum-sized dolls, attractive unimaginable carved designs on Copra (dry coconut) and alluring replica of food items made of wax!

These wonderful artefacts are conceived, conceptualised and made by four sisters — Indira, Meera, Geetha and Vathsala of Kuvempunagar in city. The sister picked up the skill of making innovative artefacts from their mother Padma.

The sisters are adept in making traditional dolls from plastic and cloths for religious occasions like marriage.

Copra carving

The sisters are too good in carving innovative designs on the surface of copra which is popularly used in religious function. The carved designs can be Radha-Krishna, Shiva Parvathi, Rama-Seetha, Srinivasa-Padmavathi or the attractive peacock, swan or love birds.

Wax ‘delicacies’

The outstanding talent of the sisters is making wax ‘delicacies’ that include laddu, mysorepak, kadabu, masala dose, chiroti, bisibele bath, samosa, mosaranna, idli and list is endless. The items replicate the real food items so much that one could be even tempted to savour them.

The sisters are keen to share their knowledge of making the artefacts. They could be contracted on their mobile phone numbers 89707-82994 and 93416-25729.
