Procession of Making a Statue
Statue making is a demandable work through the ages. To make it takes some steps. At first paris is bought from market as much it need. Some woods are bought from market. The fibrous structure of wood gives it considerable tensile strength, so that it may be carved as need. A number of pieces of wood are jointed to make cast. Then plaster of paris is mixed with warm water properly. Then mixture of paris is poured in cast. After that enough time is left for the mixture to harden. When it is made harden, the cast is removed carefully. Finally the statue is taken out from the cast.
