PROCEDURE |
It
often happens that the customer appreciates the art and many
times inquisitiveness is expressed about the process of
manufacturing. This art of manufacturing the leather items is
rightly called as handicrafts as the entire process does not
involves the use of machine at any given point of time.
The entire operation can be summed up in five different
phases:
1) Structure formation
2) Modeling
3) Leather mounting
4) Coloring & Polishing
5) Ornamentation |
| |
| 1)
Structure formation |
| The process begins with a formation of wire frame skeleton of
the predefined structure, which is threaded with the wood wool
. This structure lends the basic shape and strength of the
leather sculpture |
|
| 2)
Modeling |
Paper pulp is then impregnated on the structure by the
craftsperson followed by slow and uniform drying. Due care is
taken for matching the contours and poses. The modeling
involves activities like fitting of glass eyes and the plastic
hoofs. After the model is dried it is then followed by hard
buffing of the product.
|
| 3)
Leather mounting |
The basic structure is now ready to undergo the next
transformation stage. The buffed structure is now pasted with
tanned leather of sheep or goat . This brings it into the form
of leather craft. With this the proper cutting and pasting of
leather is undertaken and other parts of the body such as
leather ears nostrils etc are implanted on the structure.
|
| 4)
Coloring & Polishing |
The next very important stage of the leather work is the color
finish of the craft and once the craft undergoes the process
of leather finishing it is then given a most desired
combination of colors like that of tan, dark tan, brown, black
or any other which beautifies the craft to its epitome.
|
| 5)
Ornamentation |
Simply called as finishing wherein the final touches are given
to the crafts and it is further beautified with the additional
mounting of saddles, tusks and other ornamentation as per the
requirement of the art and sometimes as per the need of the
customer order.

|
Once
again it is worth mentioning that nowhere in the entire
process there is any utilization of mechanical mode, which
implies in the real sense the true meaning of handicrafts
involving lot of efforts, skills and artistic sense on the
part of artisans and craftsman.
Thus it is the combination of skill and efforts, which brings
to us the final output in form of the lovely craft model,
which gets our appreciation impulsively at the first sight of
the model.
At any stage if the product is found not standing as per the
International quality parameters, is discarded.
These leather animals are available in various sizes ranging
from 6" to live sizes
