We will learn the art of "Hanging Wax Vimanas" which are hand-made miniature wax sculptures infused with crayon, oil pastel and aromatic oils which are then arranged in a vertical array using copper wire and raw materials such as stone, shell, clay, wood, etc. These sculptures are placed under the doorways, entrances or installed inside the house at some special place such as garden, greenhouse, entrance/exit or prayer/meditation area.
The vimanas help regulate the positive vibration in living place by bringing beauty to the eye, soothing aroma, with overall pleasantness with its presence. Each vimana is hand-made using a heat-gun, non-drip candles, dyed candles, and a variety of organic materials while fusing a unique color combination, each to its own. Wax has three physical states, solid, liquid and plasma. Concave objects are used as a mold providing a basic structural base. Timing is the essence when designing the vimana, as the wax transforms from hot liquid wax to the in-between plasma state the colored materials are added freezing and merging the patterns into wax sculpture.
Get ready to work with your hands and get a little messy with wax and colors!
