Parashurama is most known for raiding the world of kshatriyas twenty - one times over , after the king Kartavirya Arjuna killed his father.
In this post I am showing you how to make this quilling doll.
Face ( Step 1 to Step 3 ):
- I have used 5 mm quilling strips. For the front part of the face I have used 5 strips of skin color.
- Attach 5 quilling strips and make a tight coil. Slightly make a cone.
- For the back part of the face I have used black color . Make a tight coil using 5 strips.
- Attach these two parts and complete the face by drawing the eyes , nose and mouth.
For this I have used 5 mm black color quilling strip. Make the first cone using 5 quilling strips. Make the second cone using 3 quilling strips. Make the third cone using 1 quilling strip. Stick them one on top of the other. Make the hairs and beard by cutting the black quilling strips into small fringes. Stick the hairs to the face of the Lord.
Neck ( Step 8 ) :
Make a tight coil using three skin color 5 mm quilling strips.
Body ( Step 9 - 11 ):
For this I have used 10 mm quilling strips. Make a a tight coil using 4 quilling strips of skin color. Make three such coils. Attach the one above the other. Attach the neck to the body.
