In Kashmir - Dastkar and Commitment to Kashmir. An Elephants Tale - from paper pulp to painted pomp! Making the papier-mâché from shredded rag paper pounded with glue made of flour and dried fish, pressing it into a sancha mould & drying it, then cutting off the mould & smoothing out & polishing the piece with a pumice stone & carving the finer details - joining the different elements of trunk, legs etc & covering it with more fish glue for a smooth glossy finish. Then finally the Naqash paints the piece.
