The paste is available in various colors, allowing for high creative expression. ### Process of Making Russian Paste (Day 2) 1. **Preparation:** Take one small cup of marble powder and add local glue or Fevicol MR. 2. **Coloring:** Add one spoon of white acrylic paint. 3. **The Cotton Mix:** In a container, add one spoon of cotton (from pads/diapers), one spoon of white acrylic paint, or one spoon of Fevicol MR. Let this rest for 2 hours. 4. **Mixing:** Combine the marble powder, glue, and cotton paste in a container; mix all interior elements well. 5. **Curing:** Let the mixture rest for 24 hours in a container before using it for a project. ### Knife Patterns and Basics (Day 3) * Work on an acrylic plate or glass surface. * Place Russian paste on the glass and mix in yellow acrylic paint. * Use the knife to form various leaves and flower petals. ### Project: Poppy Flower (Day 4) 1.
