How the article is made-

• The marble can be white, black, pink or green. The marble is then cut according to the size of the article to be made. The marble used by us is the same type of Makrana marble that was used for the construction of the Taj Mahal.
• The Semi precious stones are now taken and cut into thin slices. These small fragments are then shaped by using a hand operated machine called the hone. The hone allows for better control of the artist on the shape of the stone. The artist holds the tiny bit of stone in his left hand and brushes it against the hone to shape it. Each artist is responsible for a different motif. Some are responsible for making leaves, some for flowers and some for stems.
• Then we take the marble and cover it with water color to see the outline easily ,then we temporarily stuck the stone over the marble that we have shaped, then with the help of iron chisel we trace the outline around the stone.
• Then we remove the stone so we get the impression and than manually chisel out 2mm deep to make the cavity and fill the stone into the cavity with help of natural glue into the marble
• After completing the inlay into the marble we first rub the surface of marble with sandstone & then we polish the surface of marble with sandpaper which brings the natural shine on the surface of marble & to the semiprecious stones and than the wax polish is used to make the surface shiny.
• Once the stones are inlaid , it is for life time and it never comes out.

• You will enjoy this beautiful piece of art and this way you will be supporting the local artisans and encouraging them to keep this dying art alive.

Inspiration-
