Breakfast table

I think I will have this painting next to the dinning table.
Hmm...though my breakfast is a huge glass of milk, but all this certainly looks good.
On weekends I get up soo late that its almost lunch time... :(
But when I saw this picture I knew I wanted to make it.

Decoupage and recycle

It had been a while I had collected some of the yogurt cans, and I thought of doing some decoupage over it. I used a random dress catalog that came as a junk mail. I also had some small plastic pots for plants.

I had a lot of fun putting all this stuff (on its way to trash) to use.
Also Once I was done, I sprayed a layer of clear varnish over it.

I am not very sure about the use of these pots, though I have sprayed varnish, and I guess after planting a small plant in it, and careful watering, it will be useful.
The others will be used to store stationary,pens,pencils,brushes,little objects which are easy to loose...

Art.....

Oh I absolutely love this video....it gives words to my thoughts....I cannot help but watch it over and over again....

ART

I originally found it on Tam's website. An amazing artist, who always inspires me with her words and work.

Generosity of an artist

So last week has not been very creative for me, actually saying that is slightly incorrect, considering the fact that I as away for an official training purpose. So I was being creative and learning new stuff, but it did not involved colors.
So few days back I was one of the lucky ones to win a give away at - Gloria's blog. It was in celebration to her 300th post. I right off jumped in and added my name in the draw :)
And the next thing I found was...I won..!!! yeahhhh.....
So, Gloria posted the package and informed me that it has been dispatched...and I have been desperately waiting for it...also I somewhere feared, what if it gets lost somewhere....b'coz when it comes to luck I am not that lucky.
It had already been a week and I was wondering if my fears were coming true, and then I receive a phone call from a lady next door and she says, "Dipali thereis a package waiting for you since last week..".....and I am like what..!!!! I asked her why she did nto informed me earlier...and she told me she was away for the week.
Phewww...so I finally got it....what a start of the week...I am soo happy and exicited.

So in the packages was a print of an amazing painting by Gloria - "The dancing Mermaids"

Also there was this lovely lil frame of "GlitterGal"...

And the there was this lovely card....

With a lovely msg.

Wow Gloria....all this means a lot to me...and that you so much for everything....

My First Crochet porject.!!!

I cannot believe I actually did it...!!!
Ok not the best of work, but it looks much cooler in person and it was a lot of funn..!!

These two videos really helped me achieve it.
1. Basic single stitch video.
2. How to crochet a hat.

Also I would really recommend videos by tjw1963 to learn crochet.

All this has opened a new world of possibilities in crochet for me...

Paper Berries (Inspired by HowAboutOrange)

My inspiration was this post.

Few days back after office I was waiting for Enn to pick me.So I was wandering around on a very bright and beautiful early-spring day, and I came across these dry tree twigs around me and immediately I could picture it as my next project.

I absolutely loved the idea, it was easy and the end result was very eye pleasing.

I did not have a paper punch, and after chopping so many berries I was left with a lot of these...

Let's see what I do with that...

Clay whistles

Meet Iinky & Pinky

This week my clay studio instructor taught us making whistles ... and what an experience...!!!! 

I absolutely loved the idea of making this sound equipment, and once you make the basic organ- the technical part is over, now comes the "sky is the limit" part....

Today I spent some more time doing it...I ended up making a horse-giraffe-ish kind of creature...and a turtle. 

All this really made me nostalgic, I recalled as a kid playing with clay, and my dad use to show me making a clay radio, and we use to stick a broom stick in it pretending it is an antenna.  

Hopefully they will be fired by the end of next week or may be later and then I will think of glazing them. I plan to make more whistles. Its a lot of funn...!!

 

My version of "The Kiss" ...

"The Kiss" by Gustav,a master piece that needs no introduction.

It truly intrigues me...the whole golden effect, the oneness of the two lovers, really...I cannot distinguish them...

Clearly you can see that I have skipped most of the details, because I could not handle them.
But I know every time I will look at it...my eyes will be pleased, and I promise to myself not to find faults in it, but rather simply enjoy the feel of it....

Teapot

I really don't have anything to say about this tea pot, rather than the fact that I am really found of tea and in my plan of having some paintings next to the dining table wall...tea will be an element of focus.
When my husband (Enn) saw this, all he said was..."and you are in what grade..?"...

Painting Bottles....yayy...

This one was a maple syrup bottle, I luved its shape, like an old wine bottle which were used to preserve wine. I gave it to my friend A, she's using it to plant her money plant.

Polka dots is another of my fav. pattern...for the very reason of its simplicity...this one was a ice tea bottle...
