Kundan ganesh

One of our friends invited us for lunch and I had no time to buy gift for them so I decided to make something quickly. This was very quick, I finished it in 1.5 hours. Luckily I had all material including an empty A4 size frame. I have already made about 6 of these as gifts. Everyone loved it. Earlier ones had gold border but time I used blue for a change and it does look very beautiful.

Tajmahal pop up card

Finally an attempt to make my first pop up card is successful! I got the 'wow' factor from everyone who opened it. I am going to be making more o these. I need to work on the cuts and folds a little bit more and I am sure with practice I can make it look lot better.

Quilling sampler

I wanted to do 4 small quilling samplers and hang them on the wall together. I sarted with the first one. It turned out pretty good. I used 6 by 6 inch pre stretched canvas. I will complete all 4 and post how I display it on the wall. I have trouble with the curves but I am sure with practice I will get a hold on it very soon.

Krishna glass painting

I am back again with another glass painting. I just loved the way it turned out. I was going to use glass colors but i ended up using acrylic paints. I started with glass paints at first but it was too thin and translucent, I wanted it to be more towards opaque. I gifted it to my friend at their house warming ceremony. I found this design on easycrafts blog. I am very happy with it and my friend just loved it. She has proudly displayed it in her informal dining.

Quilling ganesha

Another Ganesha! I just love doing ganesha designs. This one especially is so simple, quick and elegant. Again a lovely gift for family and friends for ganesha chaturthi!

Kundan Ganesha

I love Kundan. It looks so elegant and grand on anything from saree, jewellery to beautiful wall hanging. I was always fascinated by kundan work. Recently I discovered the art of kundan rangoli and found this beautiful design on the internet. First I made this on transparency sheet and used it as rangoli then I thought of trying it on glass and it turned out very good and also now I can hang it on the wall permanantly rather than displaying it as a rangoli once in a while. Since the first one I made 4 already as a gift to few of my friends and family. Its a great gift for ganesh chaturthi too. I used 2 dollar shop glass frame and 2 dollar shop self sticking rhinestones. I got some golden beaded chain from india that I used for the borders. It very easy art and it took me only couple of hours to complete the full picture.

Sequin art - Peacock

I was shopping at Riots arts and craft store few weeks ago and I saw someone had displayed this amazing sequin arts which were of lot of different things, size and shape. We used to work with sequins(Chamki) a lot in childhood and I had forgotten all about it. I am always fascinated by peacock designs, doesnt matter whether its on fabric or its on paper. I decided to do a peacock with sequin, next quest was to find a good design, I went around every art and craft store and couldnt find any sequin peacock art set. I found this in one of the online stores. It was a little expensive but I think it was totally worth as it came with material. It took me about 4 weeks to complete this.
