Present wire work Using the dye
As wire work is very time consuming and exhaustive, it discourages the artisans from creating intricate
designs. So they create designs which have very large surface area for meena and in turn is not good
for applying meena. The smaller the surface area, better is it for applying meena as it prevents from
breaking and looks much better after its set.
After the embossing is done on the silver sheet, the silver piece is submerged for few minutes in
solution of water and sulphuric acid to remove stain marks and other impurities from the surface.
Finally the silver piece is cleaned in Retha’s water with a brush (as seen in the pictures above) and the
required piece is ready for application of meena.
