Warli painting on wooden box
I have many wooden boxes to keep my craft items. In the process of decorating my craft room , I’m decorating each box with different paintings and designs. A small box I have decorated using decoupage with napkin. The one I have now is quite a big box, thought of showing my painting skills on that. I have very basic knowledge about warli painting. With that limited knowledge painted the wooden box. I always like Warli on mud color background. So used mud color for the box.
Here is the outcome:

| Wooden box with Warli design |
Warli designs can be painted on any surfaces to decorate- on the walls, bottles, containers in the kitchen , any panel or on fabric. On fabric, the fabric painting techniques are used. On containers or wood first the surface is painted with primer.
Here is the wooden box I chose to paint:
Applied primer on the box. I chose mud color as background and applied mud color on it. Then traced the design:

| After application of primer and color. |
Painted the top surface of the box:

And then on sides of the box:

The box is ready!
To design with Warli, if you are a beginner , start with a simple design. Even simple design of Warli looks very beautiful.
Planning to design a saree with Warli design. Soon will share about that.
Until then,
Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,

Excellent work Ranjana! You have magic in your hands!
Very beautiful.
I also painted some chunnis and saris with these designs, but gave it away with out taking pictures.
Where did you buy the box ? Does it have any compartments inside? I would love to buy one or two for storing my craft materials.
