The fifth Avatar in the Dashavatar series is the Vamana Avatar. In this Avatar, Lord Vishnu took birth as Vamana ( dwarf ) . He then approached King Bali ( grandson of King Prahlada )for a gift of land that could be covered by his three steps. When King Bali agreed to this with all devotion , Lord Vishnu covered the earth with one step and the heaven with the other step. The third step the lord put on King Bali's head to send Bali to the nether world to be its emperor.
In this post I am showing you how to make this quilling doll.
Face :
For the front part ,make a tight coil using skin color 5 mm quilling strips. Here I have used 5 quilling strips. Slightly make a curve and draw the facial organs.
For the back part I have used black color quilling strips. Make a small curve and attach the front and back parts of the face. For details please refer to the earlier Dashavatar posts ( Dashavatar dolls )
Neck :
Attach 3 quilling strips ( skin color ) of 5 mm dimension. Make a tight coil.
Body :
Take a 10 mm quilling strip of a light ( skin ) color. Attach 5 quilling strips and make a tight coil. Make 3 such coils and attach one above the other. Attach the neck to the body.
Dhoti :
Take a 10 mm quilling strip of white color. Attach two strips and make a tight coil. Make a cone, make two such cones and attach them adjacent to each other. You can give a simple border to make it look attractive.
Legs :
Take a 10 mm skin color quilling strip . Take a 1/4 th of a quilling strip and make a tight coil. Make two such coils which will act as legs for the Lord.
Hands :
Make a half moon shape with a single 10 mm skin color quilling strip and attach it to the body. make two hands for the Lord.
Umbrella :
As you can see the Lord is holding an umbrella in one hand. To make this make a tight coil using 20 quilling strips of 5 mm dimension. I have used yellow color for this. Then make a curve to give it a shape of an umbrella. Make a stick with a thin cardboard stick. Fix it to the Idol.
Attach all the body parts to complete the idol.
This completes the quilling doll . It will look like this :
Arrange the dasara dolls during the navarathri festival. It
will look very beautiful. I hope you liked my creativity of making this
doll. Please share your views on this. Please watch this space for more
