Homemaker Vinothini Munusamy has been busy running her home-based business of crafting lippan kaam – a traditional mirror art from Gujarat, India – lately. The mother of three from Klang, Selangor, has received 10 orders for this intricate circular artwork, all due next weekend.
"Christmas is around the corner, and I need to complete these orders by then. On average, it takes between three and seven days to complete a 12-inch (30.5cm) artwork. Besides lippan kaam, I also have several orders for Christmas-themed mandala paintings. People like mandala paintings as they come with geometric patterns and symmetrical designs," says Vinothini, 46, during an interview at her home in Rantau Panjang, Klang recently.
