Lippan Art | Mud & Mirror Art Work | Traditional Indian Mud and Mirror Art of Kutch, Gujarat

This is a beautifully decorative wall hanging I made adorned with Lippan work with craft clay and art mirrors.
Material I used:
1. MDF Wooden Board panel
2. White Glue
3. Air Dry Clay
4. Plaster Of Paris (POP)
5. Water
6. Brush
7. Decorative Mirrors mosaic stones Square and Round
Mud and Mirror Work (also known as Lippan Kaam) is a traditional mural craft of Kutch, Gujarat, India.
Traditionally, these Sparkling murals was initially done by the village ladies to decorate the mud walls and keep the interiors of their home cool.
It was made by adding mud and camel dung. But now a days, a variety of mud from kutch along with clay and colors are used to make the lippan.
It takes hours for the clay and colors to dry.
Literal Definition
In the Gujarati language,
* Lipan = mud-washing
* Kaam = work

Hello Diya,you have done it so beautifully.I am also using air dry clay on canvas board.but when it's drying up the length is shrinking and gaps are forming😔can you suggest some remedy plz🙏

[@DIYADoItYourselfAlways]

Thanks for you comment dear 😊 you can try Fevicryl Mouldit. Air dry clay shrinks when it drys. try making bigger shapes of clay than designs so when the clay will dry and shrinks it'll take the exact design's place or may be check reviews of the clay you buy. some clay doesn't shrinks after it dry.

[@PronounceIndia]

does it crack? , my pop cracked from so many places :(

[@DIYADoItYourselfAlways]

no dear.... i used Air dry Modelling clay

[@maminifra2154]

Can we make this colourful?? If so then shoudl I add colours to the clay or paint them after shaping then to the board?

[@DIYADoItYourselfAlways]

yes you can color it....but then you need to add some extra efforts to remove paint from mirror work...so i'll suggest to do all the clay work before and then color it and at last stick mirrors.

[@MadhuSharma-bz1ls]

hi mam this is madhu once again... mam can we add fabric color in pop cone or pop base for change... plz reply mam i m going to make it today

[@DIYADoItYourselfAlways]

If you are making it today itself then you can use..as fabric colprs dry very soon...still recommend to use normal acrylic colors

Can it create cracks or bubbles on the board if it is not mixed properly??

[@shrutigarg394]

What else can I apply on hardboard instead of plaster of paris paste? Any white paint?

[@DIYADoItYourselfAlways]

reason i applied POP paste is to make the surface a bit rough so that it can hold the clay work easily. paint will be smooth and clay can slip on that. 🥰

Lovely design, but want to know that sometimes they say that air dry clay cracks after drying.

[@ShettyEkta]

Hey what is I want to make a semi liquid in cone ? I am finding hard time to get inexpensive chalk powder or wall putty powder for lippan work .. Please suggest where to get and also where I can get mirrors

[@DIYADoItYourselfAlways]

Hi Ekta Thanks for your comment....u can use talcum or baby powder for cone work, you need to mix white glue and powder and fill it in cone. but with this option it'll not give much 3d effect as clay or putty powder can give. for mirrors, it's available online and in craft supply store. 🥰Hope it's helpful.
